It works with every doc I have seen attempted. I would add it a s printer feature and configuration, nothing to due with the Macs. 2 and 4 tray printers, and the user simply pushes print and the correct size paper (that matches the document page setup size) comes out. At work, I see this working seamlessly on Xerox, Ricoh, and Dell lasers. Odds are it is a feature set of the printing protocol, not the OS or hardware.Īlso, I can say with certainty that many modern printers can and will auto-select the correct size based on the document size. Most Win boxes print using PCL, and Macs primarily use Postscript. But there is no option for automatic source tray selection in the OS X printer driver and, as I said above, the Mac Adobe command to do so is ignored.ĭon't know, not a feature I am familiar with. The printer must be properly configured, because as I said above the dual-printing works through Windows, and even on the Mac I can control which paper tray to use from the printer driver manually. I'm talking about having the printer switch from Tray 1 to Tray 2 automatically to feed the correct page size.) Thanks for any help. So the question is, why? Why if the option to 'chose paper source by PDF size' is now included in Adobe Reader for the Mac does it not work? Can it be made to work? (To be clear, I'm NOT talking about scaling, where you get a 8x14 page to squeeze onto an 8x11 page.
Interestingly, when I run Windows 10 in Parallels on the same iMac, and use the Windows version of Adobe the checkbox DOES work and I can do dual-printing on that same printer attached to the iMac. The problem is that whether or not you check that option, it is ignored and you STILL cannot dual-print automatically. Then finally the option was added in one of the recent updates to Adobe for the Mac. However there was no way to get that printer to do automatic dual-tray dual-size printing on a Mac. I'm running OS X 10.11.6 (although as far as I can tell this problems exists in all recent versions of hardware and software) on an iMac 7,1, and the most recent Mac version of Adobe Reader includes the option to "choose paper source by PDF size." That option had been missing in the Mac version for years, all the while being in the Windows version and working well, as long as you had your printer properly set up for dual-tray dual-paper size printing. From what have seen this question has been popping up for years, and there's no answer.
