    How do you 'print booklet style'?????


    When the grey print window opens, change the drop-down menu (half-way down) from something like 'fit to printable area' to 'booklet style'.

    I prefer to change it to 'multiple pages per sheet' and then change the number of images to 2 or 4 until it looks a good size on the A4 page. Then I print say, 4 of them on 4 pages like that and then represent the paper the other way and print another 4. Then if there's room try to fit another in the middle ('shrink to printable area' on the drop-down menu).

    With the MumPLus One mocs (CIF, Baco, Heinz, Cow & Gate and the new Domestos & Nurishment mocs) you can print the image at one end of A4 and at the other end, then again on the other side - on the back of the first images. That way you can then cut out 4 double-sided mocs from each page which look better than blank backs, and they usually scan OK.

    Yep. With all the MumPlusOne mocs, the whole PDF is the coupon (includes the back).

    It is supposed to be printed the way I have described (IMHO anyone who just prints the barcode side of these ones is not printing the whole coupon, not sure if it's redeemable by Tesco or not).

    Print the whole PDF (2 per sheet, then turn the sheet over and do the same again). You will see what I mean if you do it. You'll get the barcoded part on one side and the back of the coupon on the reverse, exactly as it's intended to look.

    They don't take that much ink and you then have double-sided mocs which replicate how similar-design non-internet ones usually look - like those from the GFS booklet, etc.

    I have printed only the barcode part of the C&G ones and T's have accepted them.

    For some reason its not worked for me I guess Ill have to play around with it, Im guessing T's wont accept just the barcode pat of the coupon/pdf???

    Glad to see you've sussed it now - the coupons come out perfectly that way.

    Sorry if I wasn't clear earlier, the 'barcode side' of the PDF alone will scan of course - but it's not the whole coupon. It's missing off half of the blurb - which is designed to appear on the back if you print it right.

    So personally I prefer to print the way I have described, to be sure that Tesco can redeem it (hopefully) and to give the manufacturer no grounds to reject it based on the customer's lack of printing.

    You can give the delivery driver spend & save coupons (from Tesco or other major Supermarkets). But I bet lots of drivers would look at you as if you were mad if you did offer a non-Tesco one, might be more hassle than shopping instore!

    But AFAIK, definitely not manufacturers' mocs, there would be no way he/she could scan them/have the knowledge to check them like a cashier is supposed to...:rolleyes:
