Occasionally, I notice blank pages when I first print out a new report I am designing. There are a couple of different scenarios in which this could happen:

One reason that there are alternating blank pages is because the page width in the report is currently set to wider than the physical paper size in the printer. As you add objects to a page, Radius for c360 will automatically adjust the page size to fit the objects if they exceed the current page width. Then, just like in Excel, if the print area exceeds the available paper width in the printer, the overflow is printed on the second page. If your table or matrix itself does not exceed that page width, there is nothing but blank space to print on the overflow pages.

Another case might be when the first page is printing blank. This is usually because the “page break at start” attribute has been turned on for the group header, rather than “page break at end”, if the intent was to print a new page for each new group.
 

To change the page size issues, right-click anywhere on the page body in layout mode and choose “Properties” from the menu that appears.

Set the height and width of your page appropriately. Keep in mind that there is typically a quarter-inch non-printable margin, imposed by most printers, when laying out your report objects.

To change the page break properties of your grouping, click anywhere on your table, the click the Layout tab under the Table Tools heading on the ribbon and select “Edit Table Groupings”. Click on your group you wish to change and then click the Options button below it. You can then deselect “page break at start” and select “page break at end” and then click OK to apply those changes and exit.
