Workarounds?
I have seen mention here of two problems which I also have been
experiencing, and I wondered if explanations or solutions or workarounds
have been found.
I am using FCIIr2 with a DeskJet 550C and the Creative Focus DJC2 driver.
1. Printing a 2 (or more) page project I almost always get a blank ejected
after the first page.
2. The pages always print too near the beginning (i.e., the top when in
portrait mode, the left in landscape). Even if I tell it 0.75" left and
0.0" right (in landscape), I get a narrow left margin (about 3/16") and
wide right (about 9/16").
Also a couple of questions and/or requests:
1. Are there settings in "Graphic Final Print Preferences" that will speed
printing (still with good quality) when the document is PURELY black and
white text?
2. Is there a simple way fo telling FC NOT to make .info files (icons)
with each document saved?
3. Could you consider, for FCIIr3, a "Pamphlet Mode" setting, intended
primarily for printing 2 pages side by side in landscape mode on 11" X
8.5" paper, that would recognize the right-hand 1/2 of the page as a
second logical page. Among other things, that would allow me to "Insert
page break" at the end of left-hand-page material and end up on the
right-hand page, instead of on the next physical page, without having to
type in al lot of <CR>'s.
Probably the best place to put this would be in the "Columns" selector
under "Page Setup": snaking, parallel, or pamphlet type (when you also add
parallel columns <g>). In pamphlet mode, it would ask for "gutter" width
between left and right pages, and also inter-column "gutter" if you
selected 2 or more columns, but "2 columns" would mean 2 on EACH half of
the pamphlet.
