For forms intended for printing,
you can specify single-sided or double-sided printing for each page
set in the form design.
Note: Specifying
single-sided or double-sided printing is recommended for form designs
intended for printing, including PCL and Postscript.
For example, you may want to create a form design to be used
to generate a preprint and plain copy form. A preprint form is
a form that is printed on paper that already has items printed on
it. A plain copy form is a form that is printed on blank
paper.
For this example, you create five master pages that are combined
into page sets. You can specify which page sets print single-sided
and which ones print double-sided.
- MasterPage1
- Contains the title page information and is used in the first
page in the page set and prints single sided. MasterPage1 includes
a page break in a subform that allows printing to transition to
the PrePrint page set.
- MasterPage2
- The paper that the preprint form is printed on contains the company
logo and contact information. This master page leaves room for that information
outside the content area. A small content area follows next to receive employee-specific
information. It occurs once for the preprint form and therefore is
assigned as the first page in the second page set. The second page
set requires double-sided printing.
- MasterPage3
- Has a larger content area, possibly covering the whole page,
to receive more information. It is used for the second and subsequent
pages of the preprint form. It is assigned the Rest of Pages placement
option in the second page set. MasterPage3 includes a page break
in a subform that allows printing to transition to the PlainCopy
page set.
- MasterPage4
- Has the company logo and contact information first, outside
the content area. A small content area follows next to receive employee-specific information.
It occurs once for the plain copy form and therefore is assigned
as the first page in the third page set. The third page set also
requires double-sided printing.
- MasterPage5
- Has a larger content area, possibly covering the whole page,
to receive more information. It is used for the second and subsequent
pages of the plain copy form. It occurs 0 to infinite times. It
is assigned the Rest of Pages placement option in the second page
set.
The master pages are grouped into page sets:
The Main page set is set to print single-sided.
The PrePrint page set is set to print double-sided.
The PlainCopy page set is set to print double sided.
The
form is rendered according to the order of the page set in the hierarchy:
The first subform is always placed on MasterPage1.
The next subform is placed on MasterPage2 and then MasterPage3
if the form is a preprint form, or on MasterPage4 and then MasterPage5
if the form is a plain copy form.
