Hello,

It should be set up as follows for pages FIRST and NEXT:

FIRST: D Begin new page in DUPLEX mode (double-sided)
NEXT: Default: No change of print mode

For ABAP lists and Smartforms, you can set the duplex printing via the
output device definition in transaction SPAD. However this will only
work if you print via a device type that uses the new list driver like
described in Note # 143375.

Also check the setting at the PC level:
"Start"-> "Setting" ->"Printer and Faxes"->Select the printer that you
are using to print and right click-> Select "Printing Prefences" ->
then "Finishing".

Finally, if the above two items do not resolve the issue, then
please check the manual of your exact model printer for the
sequence which is specified for Simplex and Duplex.
For example in the user guide of say a HPLJ4000 printer, the
following sequences are specified for Simplex and Duplex:

2-sided/1-sided printing \e&l#S

Wen Peng

It is a device type problem. Create a new device type and repeat the steps. This has to be done according the Printer type. Then it needs two steps 1. Setting in SPAD 2. Setting in smartforms options
