Yes , we can....

This depends on the PRINT MODE option in the OUTPUT OPTIONS tab of the page attributes of <b>a page and its next page.

</b>

<b>Form page: Print mode SIMPLEX,DUPLEX, or TUMBLE DUPLEX</b>

This attribute of a form page determines the print mode from this page

The print mode specifies whether printing is single-sided (SIMPLEX),

double-sided with long-edge binding (DUPLEX), or double-sided with

short-edge binding (TUMBLE DUPLEX). This attribute is only suitable if

page printers are used, which process individual sheets of paper as

opposed to line printers, which process continuous paper. Furthermore,

only special line printers can print paper on both sides.

The individual attribute values have the following effect:

SIMPLEX:

The current print mode is set to SIMPLEX (single-sided print) and a ne

page is started. A form page defined with SIMPLEX is always printed on

the front of the page, never on the back of the page.

DUPLEX:

The current print mode is set to DUPLEX (double-sided print, long-edge

binding) and a new page is started. A form page defined with DUPLEX is

always printed on the front of the page, never on the back of the page.

If the next form page contains the attribute value DEFAULT, it is output

on the back of the page.

TUMBLE DUPLEX:

The current print mode is set to TUMBLE DUPLEX (double-sided print,

short-edge binding) and a new page is started. A form page defined with

TUMBLE DUPLEX is always printed on the front of the page, never on the

back. If the next form page contains the attribute value DEFAULT, it is

output on the back of the page, however "upside down" (that is rotated

180 degrees).

DEFAULT:

The current print mode is not changed. If SIMPLEX was set as the current

print mode, a new page is started and the front of the page printed. If

DUPLEX or TUMBLE DUPLEX was set, the front or back of the page is

printed. If the attribute has the value DEFAULT on all form pages, printing is single-sided.

Note: Not all printer types provided by SAP can convert this

equally, there are restrictions for certain printer types.

Hi

When you define the page in the OPTION tab u can define the way to print the page, but then you need to make sure your printer can print in duplex.

Yes,

We can print smartform back to back. You can give this setting in the PAGE. There are three options available for print mode. Here 'D' and 'T' will print the double sided pages. Check which option you require.
