Duplex Printing
Some printers can perform both simplex (single sided) and duplex (double sided) printing. Duplex
printing can be accomplished in four ways:
•
In OfficeVision/400, select duplex printing in the print options menu for that document (*Type of
page printing. . . Double- sided or Double-sided Tumble)
•
In OS/400 V2 R3 and later, select duplex printing in the printer file (*Print on both sides. . . *Yes or
*Tumble)
•
Place I-O Duplexing commands in the document
•
Set the I-O 5250 printer emulation module to duplexing mode.
For most documents, select duplex printing through the host’s print options menu (OfficeVision/400) or
through the printer file (OS/400 V2 R3).
I-O duplexing commands are similar to the I-O Font Change commands. These commands are placed
on the first line of the document prior to any text (if not on the first line, the commands do not take effect
until the second page of the document). The commands are:
¬D0 for simplex printing
¬D1 for duplex printing
¬D2 for duplex printing (tumble)
When the printer receives a duplexing command, it prints in that mode until another printing command is
received. Place the simplex command at the end of the document to return the printer to simplex mode.
Envelope printing between documents does not chan
ge the printer’s mode.
The I-O 5250 printer emulation module can also be set to duplexing mode through the I-O 5250 printer
emulation Control Panel or Host Download command 33. The options are:
0 = Simplex
1 = Duplex
2 = Duplex (tumble) printing
Using Host Download Command, type &%Z33,1 or &%Z33,2 into the document or on the screen and
print the document or the screen to set the I-O 5250 printer emulation module to duplex printing. To
return to simplex printing, type and print &%Z33,0.
On some duplex printing, if the last page is single sided, the last page may remain in the printer. The
form feed light remains on. When the next print job is sent, this page will be ejected. To manually eject
the last page, take the printer off-line by pressing the ONLINE button, and then press the FORM FEED
button to eject the last page. Put the printer back on-line by pressing the ONLINE button once more.
