printing multiple legal size pdf pages

I have a printing issue with 11” X 14” Legal PDF documents using Adobe. The first page prints correctly, however, the second and subsequent pages print with the text starting two inches lower than it should. This cuts off the bottom two inches of the text, making the printed document un-usable. If I print the legal sized document one page at a time, it prints correctly.

Also, If I print letter sized paper, this problem doesn't’ happen.

Obviously, I cannot effectively print multiple paged documents one page at a time.

I am using a MacBook with OS Sequoia. A Brother HL-L6200DW dual tray with the series BR-Script 3 driver for multi-sized paper. I have also downloaded the Adobe Acrobat DC. All systems and drivers are up to date.

I’ve tried every single option/ combination available in the print dialog box.

Please. Has anyone solved this time and paper/toner consuming issue?

Try these steps:

  • In Acrobat’s Print dialog, select “Choose paper source by PDF page size” to ensure the correct tray is used.
  • Verify that your printer’s legal tray is correctly set up for 11″×14″ paper.
  • If the issue persists, try printing as an image or use macOS Preview instead of Acrobat.
  • Consider switching to a generic PostScript driver if using BR‑Script 3 continues to cause problems

Thank you for the input. I did all of that already but it still didn't work. I finally found the golden nugget. I have to rotate the document upside down then print. When I do that it comes out perfectly. I have no idea why that works...but it does.
