Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using a HP LaserJet IID printer. He has created a 5.5" x 8.5" form and has set duplex to yes with it feeding from the manual paper tray. This setup does not print text on the back side in the right position on the page. Solutions: When printing odd size forms that are not defined in the printer, with the form set for duplex, the binding set for left, problems will arise when printing the back side of the duplex form. When an odd size form is used, the printer driver is set up to maximize the sheet for legal paper to prevent text from being clipped. The printer driver uses printhead bias codes to position the text on the page. When duplexing with the binding edge Left (long edge), the printer uses the Y position to print the first page, then subtracts that Y position from the form size to determine where to position the text from the bottom of the page, in a 180 degree orientation. Because of how the printer uses its positioning and paper detectors, it prints the back side orientation in the wrong position. This information has been written up as an enhancement. If you continue to receive calls on this, please submit the problem as a candidate for the Hotlist.
