spalmerchuck Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hello, I am a new user to the Fusion Pro Desktop. I am having trouble getting my job to duplex print. I went into Imposer and selected duplex layout and saved my setting. When I compose my job I selected the imposer file and my job still does not duplex. I even went into my printer setting and set deplex as my default. Any help would be great! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Marshall Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hello, Is your base PDF a front only? Or front and back? If front only, it will only compose the front of the PDF. If the PDF is front and back, then they will print front and back on the press sheet specified in the Imposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Marshall Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 In FP Imposer, there is a window where it indicates the pages in the "Document" option. Does it indicate 1 or 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spalmerchuck Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Pages per record is set to 2 and on the left side of the screen it has Press sheet 8.5 x 11 Duplex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Marshall Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 In the "Layout" option under "Step and Repeat" did you specify your layout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spalmerchuck Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Under step and repeat I do not see any option there for duplexing. Under the advance tab I have my setting on how to duplex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Marshall Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hello, So that we are understanding what you are attempting to do, are you trying to do a multiple-up of the postcard, or is this issue more inline with subset finishing? The "Step and Repeat" is used to specify the amount of postcards that you would like to fit on your press sheet for the Imposition. If this is an attempt at specifying your finishing options such as duplexing, stapling, etc.. you may need to configure this on your press / RIP solution. FusionPro limited as far as subset finishing options. You can only compose to the PostScript output format, which will require you to know the postscript commands for subset finishing on your device for this to work. Let us know if this is what you are attempting to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spalmerchuck Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 It is much easier than that. I am just trying to do a simple duplex print. I have a 2 page pdf. In my data I have 4 code, to make it simple they are A,B,C,D. I set up 8 letter resources. Code A page1, Code A page2, Code B page1, Code B page2, Code C page1, code C page2, code D page1 and code D page 2. I then created 1 rule that looks at the code in the data and pulles the correct page1 letter. I then created a second rule that looks at the code in the data and pulls the correct page2 letter. In the text frame on page 1 I inserted the rule that pulls the correct page 1 and on page 2 I inserted the page 2 rule in the text frame. All my correct letters print but it will only print in simplex mode. I need to print it duplex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
