Auto Stapling Invoice copies.

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi everyone,

I was recently asked by management to procure a printer with staple finisher to start printing our invoices on it and save the hassle of manually stapling all our invoices together. All seemed fine until I tried the staple finishing feature and nothing worked, all invoices when printed as they used to do before. By default, when printing our invoices we print 2 copies of each document and set this from the windows printer dialogue box. I noted the report only generates one page for each invoice in the batch and then re-prints the batch afterwards.

Is there a way where by default the report automatically generates 2 copies of the same page in the same batch?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi

I think you need to try and establish if it is more printer related. I.e. What if you try printing 2 copies of a single page word document - will that staple?

I think the printer probably sees these as all individual documents - hence no stapling.

Hi Heather,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I have already tried collation, managed to collate the pages in the sequence of 1,1,2,2 rather than 1,2,1,2 but still no stapling.

Hi

Not GP related, but I know that when I am trying to print e.g. 2 copies of a multi-page document, there are collation options on the print - to print all page 1's together or to print the entire document and then repeat.

Could be worth playing with those.

Cheers
