#51904 - 06/25/15 01:23 PM PSM 7.2.4: Problem with Repetition Settings

Hello,

I have a PSM with 3 layouts (DIN A4). Layout 1 and 2 should be printed duplex, layout 3 simplex. My printer is capable of printing DIN A3, so I use PSM's "Layout repetition" to get two datarows side-by-side.

Now my problem: If I use the mirroring feature e.g. "Flip on short edge" to get layout 2 on the backside of the first paper, PSM adds a fourth, empty page to my printjob and the printer ist printing a white page at the end of every datarow (so PSM flips layout 3 also and therefore it needs a fourth page which does not exist).

Since I have to pay my printer/service-manufacturer per page ("clicks"), I have to pay the white page at the end, also.


Can I avoid that fourth page somehow or is it a bug?

Best regards,
Alex

Hi JFLAIR,

thank you for your response!
Is there a chance to embed a postscript command e.g. between sets, where I can say "skip last layout" or sth. like this? (I never used embedding PS)

Best regards,
Alex

P.S.: is there a tutorial how to embed PS and where can I find possible commands? A little more detailed tutorial than in PSM Users Guide?
