Problem in smartforms - Duplex printing

Former Member

Hi,

I am trying to use a smartform for duplex printing of pages.I have the following pages.

FIRST and OTHER are pages with the same main window

I have also created pages BACK and LAST which is used to print on the reverse page.

Page -> Next page -> Mode -> Printmode

FIRST -> BACK -> Initialise counter -> D ( Duplex )

BACK -> OTHER -> Increase counter -> Blank

OTHER -> BACK -> Counter unchanged -> D

I have created a command in MAIN window to call the LAST page

LAST -> blank -> Counter unchanged -> blank

I tried to print a document with 8 pages ( ie., 4 front page and 4 back page ) in a duplex printer.

Pages 3- 8 are printing fine with print on both sides. But page 1 and page 2 are getting printed in different pages. Any idea what is the issue with the first 2 pages?

Thanks and Regards

Suba

Hi Suba,

when ever we want to print back side of a page, we need to assign "D" for the

page we wanted to print on back side.

for ex: there r 2 pages, first page and second page .

1) if we define "D" for first page then it will print second page on back of first

page.

2) if we define "D" for both, then second page will start from new page(won't

print on back side of first), but it can print second page both sides.

in ur case,u defined FIRST and BACK pages as "D", but OTHER as default.

so remove Page mode "D" for BACK page.

hope this solves the problem.

Thanks

Hi Dinakar,

I have assigned 'D' only for FIRST and OTHER page. BACK page print mode is blank.

FIRST -> Initialise counter -> D ( Duplex ) = Next page is BACK

BACK -> Counter unchanged-> Blank = Next page is OTHER

OTHER ->Increase counter -> D = Next page is BACK

Pls let me know if there is any other issue.

Thanks

Hi,

Every thing seems correct and at the same time lilbit confusing.

actually whats the scenario, do all the pages print the same content or

Terms and conditions ?

lets see for some others responce..

Hi,

I am trying to print a billing document. FIRST and OTHER pages print the billing details in the front page.

BACK and LAST page contains the terms and conditions which needs to be printed on the back side .

Thanks
