DocuMatch Application Notes
One restriction of the system is that the document printer
paper tray and orientation (portrait or landscape) for the
control page must be the same as the tray and orientation
for the last page of the previous document. The paper tray
and orientation settings affect the system even though the
control page does not print.
If your job always uses the same document printer tray or
uses auto sheet feeding for the document printer, you can
get around this limitation by ensuring that the tray selection
and orientation for the control page matches the selections
for the last page of the document.
This restriction can, however, cause problems when you try
to combine control page features like selective inserting
with variable length documents where the first page comes
from one document printer tray and other pages come from
the other tray. In this case, the tray for the last page can
vary from document to document; there is no easy way in
Microsoft Word to adjust the control page tray accordingly.
Since WordPerfect and other applications do not automati-
cally reset the orientation and tray selection during a
merge, one way to circumvent this problem is to use an
application other than Microsoft Word to run the job.
If you must use this combination of features with Microsoft
Word, however, you can correct the feeder settings by
merging to a new document and then running the Word
Macro DMfixup, which is provided as part of the
DOCMATCH.DOT template. To access the macro, attach
the DOCMATCH template to your document, then choose
Tools/Macro/DMfixup and click on Edit to review the oper-
ating instructions.
