Double Side Multi Printing

[strech]

Hi everybody,

i want to use XChange instead of fineprint. I think it has everything for printing multi pages on double sides.
It has the nice function (Subset: Even, Odd Pages) which i want to use for printing first the even and then the odd pages for double side. But theres a problem, because it didn't apply to the "new pages" (with page 1-8), so it print page 1,3,...,15 on one page.

I get
page: 1,3,...,15 on page1 by printing odd pages 2x4 multi pages
page: 2,4,...,16 on page1 by printing even pages 2x4 multi pages

And I want
page: 1-8 on page1 by printing odd pages 2x4 multi pages
page: 9-16 on page1 by printing even pages 2x4 multi pages

I think I'm not the only one who want to use it instead of fineprint.
So, it would be nice to realize this functionality.
Also I think, that otherwise it does not make sense, because who want page 1,3,...,15 one one page and 2,4,...,16 one the other?

Printing even pages means exactly printing pages with even page numbers: 2, 4, 6, etc. The same about odd: 1, 3, 5...

If you want to have 1-8 on one sheet, and 9-16 on another sheet, just set Subset to All and 2x4 n-UP. First 8 pages will be printed on first sheet, next 8 on next one, etc.
If you want to have double side printing, you need to use Duplex option (and printer with duplex support).

Or maybe I misunderstood you?

hey, thanks for the replay.

thats correct,

but i can't printing doublex, because i use a raw printer for cups.
so i print in two steps:
first step: pages 1: 1-8, 3: 17-24,...
second step: pages 2: 9-16, 4: 25-32,...

i had to do this, to collect first the front pages, put them a second time in the printer and print them the backside.
thats the only way for printing double side without a doublex printer

Hello strech,

In this case I feel that there is no actual problem.
The lack of "duplex" printing is due to the specifics of the hardware, rather than our Viewer, and using the correct page ranges 1-8, 9-16, 17-24... etc. will result in the expected output.

We shall consider this one resolved unless you have anything else to add?

Best,
Stefan

hi stefan,

yes, thats right, thats not a problem of XCahnge, but i hoped that could be a new functionallity. And I think that could be reach a new user group.

Thanks for all
