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.
