Printing calendar to daytimer paper

Locked

I am trying to print my outlook calendar in daily style (1 page per day) to pre-punched Day-Timer junior desk paper.the paper is laid out so that if you are looking at it in landscape mode,it has holes along the left side, a perforation in the middle,and holes immediately to the right of the perforation. Outlook has an option for the Day-Timer paper that I am using, but it doesn’t put the pages in the correct order on the paper in duplex mode. If I tear out the pages when i am done printing, they are out of order to put them in a binder (page one is where page 2 should be etc. etc….) Basically, if both sets of holes were in the center, everything would line up correctly. is there any way to set up a custom print order for pages in a booklet style from within Outlook or an inexpensive add on print manager that anyone knows of?

I do not know what type of printer you are printing to, but on a HP 5si you need to go under File, print, printer properties. [Layout] Orintation = Landscape,
Printon both sides (duplexing)= Flip on Short Edge,

If you print to orintation = portrait
Set duplexing to print on long edge. You will get a promt that says “some of settings that you have changed will not work in outlook. To control the print settings in outlook, Use the page setup dailog box. go in to the page setup dialog box and choose the orintation and go to print preview and you will notice that tha pages are not in order.. This should do the job trust me..

I tried this, but It didn’t work. I am using an HP 4050 printer with a duplexer and the latest drivers off the net for the HP printer. I appreciate the suggestion.sorry I didn’t respond sooner, but I’ve been out a few days.

You can try to print the ODD pages and then take the paper and then print EVEN pages on the same paper.

Hope this helps you out,

if it was my printer I think that this would work, but it is my CEO’s and he said that the whole reason he bought the duplex unit for the printer is that he doesn’t want to have to handle the paper twice.however I appreciate the thought.

I don’t know what version of Outlook you are using…the following procedure will work for Outlook 2000.

1) In outlook, set the calendar view to “Month”.

2) Navigate to File\Print (or press Ctrl-P).

3) In the “Print” dialog, select the correct printer, and click on the “Properties” button.

4) In the “Document Properties” dialog box, select the “Landscape” and “Flip on Short Edge” options, and then click on “OK”.

5) In “Print Styles”, select “Daily Style”.

6) Click on “Page Setup”.

7) In the “Page Setup” dialog box, click on the “Paper” tab.

8) Do one of the following:

a) In “Paper Type:”, select “Letter”; in “Page Size:”, select “Day-Timer Junior Desk”.

-OR-

b) In “Paper Type:”, select “Avery 41-357”; in “Page Size:”, select “Day-Timer Junior Desk”.

9) Click on “Print Preview” to verify the setup.

10) Click on “Print”.

The difference in 8a and 8b above is in how the pages are ordered. The printed output covers a span of five weeks and includes days in the previous and following months, as necessary. This results in a total of 35 days. With duplex printing, and two days to each side of a page, that equals 18 pages – with one half-page blank. This half-page is printed on the front of the *first* page if you choose step 8a above; the blank half-page is printed on the back of the *last* page if you choose step 8b.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me through the Peer Directory.

Hope this helps…

Have you tried the simple task of reverse print order on you printer settings

In reply to Printing calendar to daytimer paper

Tried it. It just puts the holes in the wrong place on a different page. thanks anyway.

The problem is that you need pg 1 & 7 on front of side 1, pg 2 & 8 on back, w/#2 behind 1 & 8 behind 7 as if printing from the daytimer product itself. Then when you tear the pages in half, you place the right side under the left & all pages in order. I don’t use duplex printer so I couldn’t test answer #3, but I have used a product called ClikBook that supported a variety of print brochure formats & might help.

Use the keys ALT+PRINT-SCRN , this will place it on the Clip Board , and you can extract it from there , where you can opt for any type of printing method you have available, avoiding the cross match problem.
I hope it operates for you, otherwise (And in all cases of not operating normally) Run a deep scan for a virus/worm thats is causing the miscommunication as well as the setup configuration in your hardware.
Luck

This is from the Franklin web site support pages…

Problem: I need information on Printer Companion software, to print on Day-Timer paper from Outlook, Schedule +, or Act!

Resolution: * Printer Companion Download Printer Companion is discontinued and unsupported software. It is still available for download: ftp://ftp.daytimer.com/PrintComp/dtpt_sch.exe

If when trying to use Printer Companion an error, “Can’t find Outlook.exe”, occurs: It must be the full version of Outlook 97/98 , not Outlook Express. Outlook may not have installed itself thoroughly on this computer, thus Day-Timer? can’t find the necessary information leading to the location of the Outlook data in the Windows Registry. * Day-Timer? will not import from Outlookunder WinNT, Win2000, as NT uses the Registry differently than Win95/98.

AddWords: printer companion outlook act

Hopefully this gets you going in the right direction.

Good luck,
Tim
