Thank you to Dick Hoenninger, We were experiencing the same collation problems with our Phaser 8400 as well as 8560 causing us some frustration. Would have never thought that the version of Acrobat 8 could be the potential problem. Using Acrobat 7 has resolved these issues.

The problem is in Indesign 3 and Acrobat 8. If you try to print more than one copy and /or try to collate and duplex, you will get all of th page ones first, then the page twos.

This is with every XEROX product I have tried from the DOC 250, and 3545 and Phaser 8550.

IT can be solved by saving the file in pdf format and going back to version 7 then print vrom version 7 of Acrobat.

Hope that helps.

I think we had this issue a while back after a service on our printing machine. It seemed to spool the whole file to the printer before commencing printing, rather than, what it did before, spool the job while it printed. There was a setting on our printer, or in our printer preferences to change this option. Perhaps this helps some people. But the same went for PDF’s from any Acrobat version. It went very slowly from the Application to the printer, so we changed the settings within Acrobat to spool the job as it printed, not print the job after it was spooled. If that makes sense?

Well, perhaps they changed this in Acrobat 8? What about Acrobat 7? I don’t have a copy of that around anymore…

When the issue first came up, it appeared that exporting the file as a PDF and bringing it into Acrobat 8 Pro did not fix the problem. I’ve tried it again just now and the PDF does seem to take longer to print depending on how many copies are printed.

However, I also tested out a Word document and Acrobat 8 Pro did the same thing. What does the group think that means?
