The first page of the next copy prints on the back of the last page of the previous copy when you use a copier-based printer to print multiple copies of a document in an Office program
Consider the following scenario. You print multiple copies of a document that contains an odd number of pages in one of the programs that are listed in the "Applies to" section. You use a PostScript printer driver to print and to collate the copies. In this scenario, when you use a large copier-based printer, the first page of the next copy prints on the back of the last page of the previous copy.
This issue may occur when the collate option is selected in both the Microsoft Office program and in the printer driver.
The collate option is stored by the printer driver in a non-public binary large object. Therefore, the Office program cannot determine whether the collate option is selected by the printer driver. When the collate option is selected by both the printer driver and the Office program, the collate option may not function as expected.
To work around this issue, disable the collate option in either the printer driver or the Office program.
To disable the collate option in the printer driver, see the manufacturer's documentation for the printer.
To disable the collate option in an Office program, click
Print on the
File menu, and then click to clear the
Collate check box in the
Print dialog box.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
