Question
I am printing out of InDesign. When I use the feature under "layout" and choose to print more than one page per sheet (say 4 or 6 pages per sheet), the first page prints fine. The others that follow are mirrored. The are printing the images upside down and backwards? how do I get all the pages to print like the first one?
Hi Mollie,
It sounds like the printer itself is having a hard time with your request. It is the printer's software and the operating system that performs this and not Indesign.
It is possible that another setting within the Indesign print set-up that could be in conflict here.
Are you printing multiple copies? Is the collate box checked on? Is the reverse order box checked?
If any of these are yes, try only one copy at a time with both boxes unchecked.
It may also be possible the printer itself is not able to perform this function.
What is the printer you are using? I may be able to find more information about this.
Thanks,
Ken Black
