Hello,

In the page setting of the script, Select your page and set the print mode as 'D' - Duplex printing

in page setting of the script, Select your page and set the print mode as 'D' ( Duplex printing)

Go to SPAD ,

take output devices .

Choose your output device ,

double click

take the output attributes.

Give the print mode as Duplex.

Your printer also should be set for the duplex mode.

Hello Poorna,

In sapscript, in PAGES u can set the back to back printing feature by selecting D in PRINT MODE. What you need to do further is you switch to duplex with a form page for which one of these modes is specified. To continue printing in the current mode, for follow-on pages you must define another page in which the Print mode field is empty. Otherwise, the following pages after the mode switch will continue to be printed only on the front sides of new sheets of paper.

The reason being when SAPscript sends a page with Print mode D or T to the printer, it not only sets the print mode accordingly. To ensure that the first page in the new mode is correctly output, SAPscript also instructs the printer to output the page on the front side of a sheet. If SAPscript sends a sequence of D or T pages to the printer, the output is printed only on the front side of each sheet.

Process:

You define a first page named FIRST for a form to be printed in duplex mode. You therefore set the Print mode in FIRST to D.

To make the duplex printing work correctly, you must define a second page FOLLOWER in which Print mode is left empty. In the form definition, you specify FOLLOWER as the follow-on page for FIRST and for itself as well.

Your text is then printed in duplex mode. FIRST switches the printer to duplex mode and forces printing of the first page on the front side of a new sheet. FOLLOWER accepts the duplex mode and sends no further mode print controls to the printer. The printer therefore alternately prints FOLLOWER pages on the fronts and backs of sheets.

Hope this helps.
