Vern, It does help thank you. The PDF that's being converted has the
*Duplex Option so QImgCvtImg is missing that when converting from the PDF

I'm trying to frame my response and hope I'm close to sensible. USERASCII
is the "raw" data stream for a certain printer. Let's say we are talking
PCL. In order to print duplex, then, somehow, the PCL command string for
duplex printing would have to have been inserted into that "raw" data. I'm
using ghostscript to generate PCL and suspect that there is an option I can
use to get duplex to work. I am not sure, but maybe.

Now Host Print Transform, for one, generates that PCL (or other) data
stream - and if there is a duplex option turned on in the spooled file, it
will show up at the printer. Right?

But there is nothing innate to USERASCII to make it duplex - the command
sequence for duplex has to somehow be inserted.

I can print *DUPLEX from an SCS or AFPDS printer file, but a *USRASCII
spool file won't print duplex.

Is *Duplex supported for USRASCII or is there something else I'm doing
wrong?

Thanks again

If you're spooling them with Host Print Transform or Ghostscript you'll
need to figure out how to inject a duplex sequence into the print
stream.
Not an easy feat in my experience.

In our case if you print a PDF with our APIs we handle the duplex
switches by interfacing directly to a Windows print driver and then
either
printing directly to the printer or re-spooling the RAW USERASCII data
back
into an outq for inline printing with other print jobs.

If you're interested in trying out our software at some point:
https://www.helpsystems.com/solutions/document-forms-managem
ent/document-creation-and-assembly

Tell the sales team you're needing to print PDF documents from the IBM i
and they will set you up with a demo of iForms which has PDF printing
capabilities.

Yes, the problem is I create the PDF as two pages long, when I convert
it
back to *USERASCII and print it I get two pages.

QSYSPRT is set as DUPLEX(*YES)

Thanks for the reply. My final printer file is *USERASCII, if I setup
DUPLEX(*YES) it prints two pages.
