Hi,

When you create a page in smartform, you can specify the Print mode as D(For Duplex mode).

Hi,

You can select Duplex printing in th epage properties of a page (D = Duplex)

The printer STARTS duplex printing from that page. This means that the printer triggers a pagefeed on that exact moment and starts printing on a new page. So when you have 1 page that stretches over more that one sheet of paper this means trouble. after every page the flow of the program starts a new Duplex print (thus feeding the current sheet and starts at a new page) this results in a new sheet of paper every page. this is not what you want.

You can solve this by creating 2 pages and set their respective NEXT PAGE to each other. Page 1 you set to DUplex, pagae 2 you leave blank..

But notice that when you select duplex printing most (if not all) printers start printing on the backside of the paper. When you use pre-printed (logo) paper, you will find that it prints the front on the back etc.

This can sometimes be corrected (if needed) by sending prescribe commands to the printer directly.

Good luck!
