Re: [LUG] OT: Printing large documents (possibly obvious) tip

Hi All,

This may be blindingly obvious to everyone else, or it's so obvious it's been overlooked. Either way I'm 42 (just) and it's only just occurred to me. For years when printing out lengthy documents I have ended up manually reordering them (except on my first Epson printer which fed them in such a way the first page was always on the top). It occurred to me about half an hour ago I have been missing a blindingly obvious solution.

Whatever the length of the document, or whether you wish to print it all out or part, select Range and type the pages in the reverse order. I've just tried it with my Canon MP640 and it happily accepted the range 90-87 and the resulting pages had 87 on top.

I'm sure some people are reading this thinking 'Uh yeah we know' but I thought I'd share in case anyone else has missed it as I have.

Kind regards,

Julian

Better still get the person who wrote the document to send you a paper copy. If its legal they would be very very stupid not to do this - I frequently delete important words from documents that people email to me and ask me to print sign and return. They only glance and check the signature - not the fact I have not agreed to their contract.
If its your own work do it in a format that doesn’t require printing.
