I am having an issue when using layout repetition in version 7.0.4. The job that I am having a problem with has 1 horizontal layout and 3 vertical. The priorities are:
1 back to front
2 top to bottom

It is a duplex job.

The problem I am having is that if the database record count is not divisible by 3 then the top layout prints the back on the front and the front on the back. The middle layout prints the layouts on the correct sides and the bottom layout prints like the top. Another problem is that the data on the front and back of the top and bottom layouts do not match. The data is pulled from different records.

Hi,

This is normal behaviour. All that is needed to fix this is adding empty records so that the number is divisible by 3. The total number of records needs to be a multiple of the number of items per page.

Another thing to check. Make sure duplex is enabled. By going into Edit->Preferences->Repetition->Mirroring->Duplex.
That will make sure the back matches to the front.

Hope this help.

Marc

Thanks Marc-Andre,

We did figure out that we could add records to make it work out for us, but we were caught by surprise. We just upgraded from v5 and never had to do this before. The software always did it correctly. It seems strange to go to a new version and lose functionality that was there in previous versions.

I checked the Mirroring setting and when I set it to flip on long edge and it does work. Except that the old jobs that were back to front don't print the layouts reverse like it used to,but that is an easy one time fix for our jobs.

Thank you for your help guys.
