6.7 Duplex Printing
Some printer models can print both simplex (single-sided) and duplex
(double-sided). The duplex printing can be both long-edge (landscape)
and short-edge (portrait).
With the HPIIISi Twinax Card, you can access the printer’s duplexing
capability in a variety of ways:
a.
If you are running OS/400
®
V2R3 on the host, simply select duplex
printing in the printer file. The menu option is called “Print on both
sides . . .” and is found on the second-to-last menu screen. Available
selections are *NO, *YES, and *TUMBLE.
b.
Select duplex printing in the word-processing program. In the
OfficeVision/400 printer-options menu, the printer option is called
“Type of page printing . . .” and the available selections are: 1 = Single-
sided; 2 = Double-sided; and 3 = Double-sided tumble.
c.
Insert the duplex-printing command on the first line (line 1, position
1) of the document. The duplex-printing commands are:
¬D0 for simplex printing;
¬D1 for duplex printing,
long-edge; and
¬D2 for duplex printing,
short-edge (tumble)
Make sure to place these commands starting on line 1, column 1 of
your document. If you start these commands anywhere else, they will
not become active until the following page.
When the printer receives one of these commands, it will do all
printing in that mode until another printing command is received.
If your printer is usually in simplex mode and you are printing in
duplex mode, be sure to put a simplex command at the end of your
document to return the printer to simplex mode. Envelope printing
between documents won’t change the printer’s mode.
