  • 1.  Multi-part form printing prompts for printer each copy

    Posted 12-03-2020 06:37
    My client wants 3 copies to print of a multi-part SO Invoice - customer, office and "packing list" copy.  Simple enough, right?  I set each copy to print on the same printer and there are no tray settings.  My expectation is that when you select Print all 3 copies will just print (I know, I'm asking for a lot haha).  I haven't used multi-part in years because all my customers print to paperless, so I don't know what 'normal' is.  After they select to print the invoice a printer message pops up where they have to select OK for part 1 to print; then for copies 2 and 3 the same printer message pops up that they have to say OK to for each copy.  Is this normal?  Or does this fall under the Sage caveat "Note: Not all printers/drivers are compatible with the commands sent from the Sage 100 program for aspects such as number of copies, collation (or not), or even the handling of default tray (or manual feed) settings. Sage 100 Customer Support is not responsible for troubleshooting possible printer incompatibility issues. Assistance from a qualified outside technician may be necessary."

    Check the printer settings to make sure the manual feed is off and set to automatic. The printer may be prompting you to insert the next sheet. I bet the message is coming from the printer and not from Sage.

    @Bill Pfahnl thank you for the suggestion, but I checked and the printer feed is set to automatic and not manual. ​
