Double sided printing query

[Miltomatic]

Hi Everyone

I have a script which prints a couple of documents. In fact the 2 documents are very similar and actually started out life as the same layout which was slightly modified to give the 2 versions.

The script worked fine, and was set to print double sided, and really worked faultlessly until the other day, when, inexplicably the 2nd report would only print single sided. It took quite a while before I realised that the size of the footer was smaller in the rogue layout, and when I made both footers the same size normal service was resumed.

I have no idea how the footer was altered - it must have been me - no one else really uses the database, but what I would like to understand is why it makes a difference. Can anyone explain using easy words....

Many thanks

Milt
