Other

Print automatically inserted blank pages

If this option is enabled, automatically-inserted blank pages are being printed. This is best if you are printing double-sided. For example, in a book, a "chapter" paragraph style has been set to always start with an odd numbered page. If the previous chapter ends on an odd page, Lotus Symphony inserts an even numbered blank page. This option controls whether to print that even numbered page or not.

Create single print jobs

Specifies that each new print job will begin on a new page even if you are using a duplex printer. If this field is not checked then it is possible that the first page of the second copy is printed on the reverse side of the last page of the first copy, especially if there are an odd number of pages.

Paper tray from printer settings

For printers with multiple trays, the Paper tray from printer settings option specifies whether the paper tray used is specified by the system settings of the printer.
