Stapling Documents Problem

[DThompson]

Am trying to print to Xerox Phaser 5500DX PS

When I print a multipage document, (let's say 5 page document), and I try to print multiple copies:

a) If I set "collate" I get all 5 copies stapled together
b) If I leave "collate" off, I get all of page 1 stapled together, all of page 2 stapled together, etc...


Is there some way to fix this?

What is the behaviour you expect? Reverse order is among the additional options when you hit button "Options..."

I want pages 1-5 to print and be stapled together, and end up with 5 separate, stapled copies...each with the 5 pages of the document....

Maybe there's something wrong with your printer driver. But honestly, this is something that you should read the printer manual for.

I would first export to PDF and print from there. If you have the same problem from Adobe Reader then it probably isn't OpenOffice at fault.

a) collate 2 copies of 5 pages. Page #1 is at the bottom:

Code: Select all

5
4
3
2
1
5
4
3
2
1

Same with reverse order (button "Options...", [X]Reversed)

Code: Select all

1
2
3
4
5
1
2
3
4
5

If your printer has separate output trays you may try option "Create single print jobs". This should behave like printing 5 different things and collect each job in it's own tray.
