I have finally accomplished the task of printing duplex or 2 sided out of
DX4WIN printing facility through a hub to my HP LASERJET 4 PLUS.
I am a happy camper and I'll share this ability with the group. If you get
stuck leave me a email and I'll try and help.
I am sure there are a lots of redundancies in this procedure and so you can
chop it up anyway you want.
Here goes:
1. OPEN YOUR LOG FILE.
2. SELECT LOGBOOK IN THE WINDOW DROP-DOWN.
3. RIGHT-CLICK THE LOG WINDOW.
4. SELECT "REPORT EDITOR"
5. SELECT YOUR REPORT FIELDS AND "NEW OR OK" OUT.
6. SELECT REPORT - REPORT FORMAT(REPORT NAME)
7. SELECT "SORT INDEX" AND OK
8. SELECT "PRINT" FROM THE SAME WINDOW IN STEP 3.
9. SELECT(REPORT SETUP) DESTINATION - "PREVIEW" AND PAGES(OPTIONAL)(ALL)
10. SELECT "SETUP" (PRINT SETUP).
11. SELECT ORIENTATION - "PORTRAIT OR LANDSCAPE"?
12. SELECT PROPERTIES - "FLIP ON LONG SIDE" OR "FLIP ON SHORT EDGE"?
13. CHECK ORIENTATION (AGAIN) FOR CORRECT SELECTION - OK.
14. PRINT SETUP - OK.
15. REPORT SETUP - OK.
16. REDUCE THE REPORT PREVIEW PAGE TO 60% TO FIT 8.5 X 11 LANDSCAPE
ORIENTATION. YOUR CHOICE OF OUTPUT PRESENTATION.
17. OPEN "FILE" AND SELECT "PRINT".
18. CHECK/SELECT "SETUP" FOR PREVIOUS CHOICES - CHECK PROPERTIES FOR
ORIENTATION AND "PRINT BOTH SIDES" SELECTION - OK.
19. OK, PRINT SETUP.
20. SELECT "DUPLEX" ON "OUTPUT OPTIONS" - SELECT OK.
21. PRINTER SHOULD BE TURNED ON PREVIOUSLY.
22. SHOULD BE PRINTING "DUPLEX" OR 2 - SIDE FOR ENTIRE REPORT EITHER
PROTRAIT OR LANDSCAPE.
23. SAVE THIS SETUP SHEET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Like I said previously there are redundancies and probably be shorten.
I printed my logbook in 5 different sequencies and ALL PRINTED IN DUPLEX!
ENJOY!
