The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you select the Reverse Print Order option in Microsoft Word and print to an Epson Stylus 500, the printout may not print in reverse print order.

CAUSE

The Epson Stylus 500 also has a Reverse Page Order option in the printer driver properties. If you turn on both this option and the Reverse Print Order option in Word, your document is not printed in reverse order.

RESOLUTION

To print in reverse print order, select either the Reserve Page Order option in the Epson Stylus 500 printer driver, or the Reverse Print Order option in Word, but do not select both at the same time.

To locate the Reverse Print Order option in Word, click Options on the Tools menu and then click the Print tab.

To locate the Reverse Page Order option in the Epson Stylus 500 printer driver, click Print on the File menu. In the Print dialog box, click Properties and then click the Main tab.

MORE INFORMATION

Selecting the Reverse Print Order option prints pages in reverse order, beginning with the last page.
