Re: Manual duplex printing requires each finished page to be flipp

Daiya,

As I said in the original post:
"For example, the first sheet in the stack will have PAGE 2 on SIDE A and
PAGE 1 on SIDE B; the second sheet will have PAGE 4 on SIDE A and PAGE 3 on
SIDE B. This means that if you thumbed through the output stack, you would
see pages 2, 4, 6, 8.... in sequence, rather than the desired pages 1, 3, 5,
7...

The pages come out in the hopper face down, and go back in face down so that
the reverse side is printed.

I think the problem is that the Word routine is printing the odd sides
first, and then the even sides. This leaves you with page 2 on the top of
the stack.

I've tried using the Reverse flag, and although it should have corrected the
problem, it did not.

If I do this all semi-manually (printing just the odd pages and then just
the even pages) I can get it right, but my aim was to use Microsoft's "Manual
Duplex" feature to save some effort....but to no avail.
