NOTE

The printer may eject a blank page when printing orien- tation has been changed. If the buffer and ready light remain steady, press the Print/Check button on the printer’s operator panel to eject the last page.

5.11 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 Duplexing commands in the document

Set the PQ-8 to duplexing mode through host download command 33 or the setup software

For most documents, select duplex printing through the host’s print options menu (OfficeVision/400) or through the printer file (OS/400 V2 R3). Refer to page 64 for a description on how to change the printer file.

I-O duplexing commands are similar to the I-O Font Change commands. These commands are placed on the first line of the document (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 long-edge duplex printing ¬D2 for short-edge duplex printing

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 change the printer’s mode.

The PQ-8 can also be set to duplexing mode through host download command 33. The options are:

0 = Simplex

1 = Duplex, long-edge

2 = Duplex, short-edge (tumble)

Type &%Z33,1 or &%Z33,2 into the document or on the screen and print the document or the screen to set the interface to duplex printing (long-edge or short-edge). To return to simplex printing, type and print &%Z33,0.
