See the Setting up high speed printers for spacing topic for instructions on
configuring your printer.
v
Page numbers refer to pages of the print job, not necessarily to any page
numbers in your document.
For example, in a book, the first page of chapter one is usually "page 1."
However, it might be page 15 of the print job, because of the title page, credits,
and table of contents.
v
You cannot space to the back side of a sheet of paper.
If you are printing a duplex job, you will always print both the front and back
sides of the sheet of paper that you space to.
To space a printer, do this:
1. Start the InfoPrint Manager GUI.
2.
In the GUI, find the InfoPrint printer that you need to space.
3. Select the InfoPrint printer by clicking on it, then click Printer
→
Stop .
Note: If you do not see Stop in the menu, use Add/Remove menu items to
add it.
4. In the Stop printer_name dialog, select Pause and Now , and click OK .
Even though you selected Now , the printer will keep printing for a while
because it has to get to a point in the job where it can stop. For InfoPrint 2000,
InfoPrint 3000, and InfoPrint 4000 printers that are configured correctly, you
shouldn't have to wait more than 10 seconds. For other printers, you might
have to wait longer.
5. Once the printer has stopped printing, look at the last sheet that printed.
Write down the number of that sheet of the job.
6. Figure out what sheet of paper in the job you want to space to. Write down
the number of that sheet of the job.
7. Figure out the number of sheets of paper you need to space.
v
To forward space the printer:
Subtract the number of the sheet that printed last (from step 5) from the
number of the sheet that you want to skip to (from step 6), and then
subtract one. Like this:
(number from step 6) – (number from step 5) – 1 = number of sheets to skip
v
To
backspace
the printer:
Subtract the number of the sheet that you want to go back to (from step 6)
from the page that printed last (from step 5), and add one (for the current
page). Like this:
(number from step 5) – (number from step 6) + 1 = number of sheets to
back up
8. Determine the number of "sides" to space the printer.
v
If you are printing a simplex job, the number of sides is the same as the
number of sheet from step 7.
v If you are printing a duplex job, multiply the number from step 7 by two to
get the number of sides. (number from step 7 x 2 = number of sides)
9. In the InfoPrint Manager GUI, find the printer you want to space and select it.
10.
With the printer selected, click Printer
→
Space .
11. In the Space printer_name dialog, select Backspace or Forward space and type
the number of sides you found in step 8.
12. Click OK .
