YourprintermustsupportDuplexforthisoptiontowork.
ToenableDuplexorMixplexprinting:
1. OntheResourcespane,expandthePrintcontext,right-clicktheprintsectionandclickSheet
configuration.
2. CheckDuplextoenablecontenttobeprintedonthebackofeachsheet.
3. WhenDuplexprintingisenabled,furtheroptionsbecomeavailable.
l
CheckOmit empty back side for Last or Single sheettoresetapagetoSimplexifit
hasanemptybackside.This changes the Duplex job into a Mixplex job.Thuschan-
gingaDuplexjobintoaMixplexjobmayreducevolumeprintingcostsasomittedback
sidesaren'tincludedinthenumberofprintedpages.Ontheotherhand,dependingonthe
printertypeitmayreducetheprintspeedaswell.
Seealso:"Theconsequencesofemptybacksidesforprintingandpagenumbering"below.
Note: UseaprintformatthatsupportsDuplex/SimplexswitchingtogetaproperMix-
plexjob.PDFisnotsuitableasithasnodevicecontrol.
Printsectionsalwaysstartonafrontpage.Toavoidemptypagesbetweensections,
considercombiningthemintoonesection,andusepagebreakstopushcontentto
thenextpage(see"Pagebreaks"onpage461).
l
CheckTumbletoduplexpagesasinacalendar.
l
CheckFacing pagestohavethesidemarginsswitchedalternately,sothatafterprinting
andbindingthepages,theylooklikeinamagazineorbook.See"Pages"onthenextpage
tofindouthowtosetaleftandrightmarginonapage.
Note: MasterPages,MediaandDuplexprintingoptionscanalsobesetinaControlScript(see
"ControlScripts"onpage838and"ControlScriptAPI"onpage1271).Thisisespeciallyuseful
whenyouneedidenticalsectionswithdifferentsettings.
The consequences of empty back sides for printing and page numbering
InaDuplexjob,thelastpageofasectionmaybeemptysinceeach new section starts on a new
sheet.Youmaywonderwhatthismeansforthenumberof'printclicks'andforthepagenumbering.
NotethatanemptypageisdefinedasapagethathasnocontentandnoMasterPage.Tosuppress
theMasterPageonotherwiseemptybacksides,checktheoptionOmit Master Page Back in case of
an empty back pageforlastandsinglesheets,intheSheetConfigurationdialog.(See"SheetCon-
figurationdialog"onpage939.)
