Phaser 7400 booklet files printing backwards on 7760

[Matt7760]

Hi,
I am hoping someone can help.
I have just changed from a Phaser 7400 to the 7760, and am having problems printing booklets now.
Files which printed fine on the 7400 now seem to be folded inside out on the 7760 - does it produce booklets in a different way, or am i doing something wrong?
I have gone back to the source files for the most basic booklet, and reversed the page order, re-PDF'ed it and this solves the problem, but I do not want to have to do this to all of the files unless I really have to.
The printer is on a network running Small Business Server and using the xerox postscript driver.
Really appreciate any help offered!

Hi Matt. I have just received 2 7760's but they missing HDD's I will try to solve this issue and print the booklet to see how it is. We also have 7400 so I can try the same job on it. Please be aware that User Interface is significantly different between these two. 7400 is built over OKI Engine where 7760 is real Fuji box.
Let me get this straight - what you trying to do is take multipage PDF, say 24 pages of 8.5x11 and have machine print them on 11x17 organized in the way that it could be stitched in to the booklet... Am I right?

Hi Roman,
Thanks for your reply.
You are correct, I am trying to print multipage PDF files so that they are saddle stitched into a booklet. One example is a recipe booklet. The artowrk was created in Quark as 40 x A5 pages, output to PDF as spreads (ie document created is 20 A4 landscape pages. On my '7400 I could print this fine - on the FInishing options in the driver I selected Booklet Creation > Fold and Staple >Order: None (as the PDF file was already paginated as spreads)
The printer would then duplex print the 20 pages onto 10 A4 sheets, staple along the spine and have a fair attempt at folding it.
The 7760 does all of this ok, but the resulting document has the cover page on the inside and the centrespread on the outside!
Obviously I cold just fold the booklets back on themselves, but then the sharp parts of the staple are exposed.
I have reflowed one of the booklets to reverse the page order, and that works fine, but I have quite a lot of these documents (normally just saved on the printer internal HD as Walk Up jobs)
The easy work around is that Acrobat has a 'reverse pages' tick box, which solves the issue and means I dont have to spend a coupld of days going back to old source artwork, but I still find it odd that the printer is doing this!
Maybe down to the OKI/Fuji difference?
