My trusty HP 6P finally died the week before my birthday. I knew that Providence intended for me to have this Ricoh. Other than the toner cartridges, it barely costs more than a high-end personal (i.e. very light duty) laser printer, and this product is very definitely upscale. Before purchasing it, I checked into the cost of printing large scores at Kinko's. They have software that can capture your print output, then send it to a large format printer in their shop. They want $1.00 a page. I figured that 3 orchestra scores (with a couple of drafts each) would pay for the printer right there.
Anyway, now that I have this beauty, I'm looking to improve my life in other ways. I'm thinking about scanning a lot of the music I presently keep in paper files. Most of it can be printed on 2 letter-sized pages, which I always do on a single 11x17 sheet so that there is less fiddling with loose pages.
Any of the music I have on Finale, I can easily print 2-up directly on the AP2610. No problem there. But how does one go about printing 2-up with scanned images? It seems to me I need some kind of program that can send all the images as a single print job. My scanning software treats each scanned page (i.e. each 8-1/2x11 page) as a separate file. I don't see any way to send two separate letter page images to the Ricoh for 2-up printing on an 11x17 sheet.
I guess I could save the pages to individual slides in a PowerPoint file, which really isn't a half bad solution. Or maybe I could store them in a PDF. Either of those programs (powerpoint or acrobat reader) could send the job for 2-up printing.
I'm just wondering if others have found more straightforward solutions. Is there software designed specifically for archiving and printing scanned images.
Thanks, Craig
