printing names from ordinances ready
Since the names print 3 to a page, why can't we receive 6 names to print rather than waste the spot on the second page.
For example today I will be going to do an initiatory session. I could only print 5 names. 3 to a page, so second page could have one more name.

Debra, I guess one answer to your question is that 5 names is the limit you can complete in one Initiatory session time. Your point is valid though as one card could be saved for the next time you attend a session.
The limit of 5 only relates to when you receive names using Ordinances Ready. If you reserve work for your ancestors that appear in your Temple list, you can print off as many cards as you like at any one time (up to a limit of 50). This can be a mixture of Ordinances and makes better use of paper.
Here is a Knowledge Article covering the printing of Family name cards:

There has recently been a similar question on why 4 names can't be printed on one sheet, making better use of the space on the page. You might like to view the response to that:

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
[ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]
Just in passing ...
Regardless, of ONLY; being, able to print, x3 "Temple" Cards, on an A4/Legal sheet of "Paper" ...
"OrdinancesReady", has a specific "Limits" applied, on the Number, of "Reservations", for a particular "Ordinance".
Here is a "Knowledge Articles", in 'FamilySearch':
How do I find family names for the temple with Ordinances Ready?
Where, it states, among other things:
Quote
------------------
The Ordinances Ready feature finds enough ordinances for your next temple session:
- 4 or 5 Baptisms and Confirmations
- 3 to 5 Initiatories
- 1 Endowment
- Up to 5 Sealings to Spouse
- Up to 10 Sealings to Parents
------------------
Whereas ...
IF, you were using Your OWN "Ordinances" 'Tab', in 'FamilySearch', to "Print", the "Temple" Cards; THEN, you would NOT subject to any such limitations.
As such ...
Please do not take umbrage ...
I am sorry ...
"OrdinancesReady" is NOT be the answer ...
Please be, aware; and, advised, that ...
That the "OrdinancesReady" feature/function/facility is ONLY, really, for a quick; and, easy, process of, FINDING; and, PRINTING, the "Temple" Cards, when one is going to visit the "Temple", that day or the next, when one DOES NOT have ANY "Temple" Cards, 'on-hand', available.
The "OrdinancesReady" feature/function/facility is certainly NO substitute, for doing one's due diligence, well IN ADVANCE of visiting the "Temple" of, FINDING; and, PRINTING, the "Temple" Cards, for one's Ancestors, to have 'on-hand', available, through one's "Reservations" List; and/or, normal research.
Unfortunately ...
In this day and age, it appears that many Users/Patrons, consider that "OrdinancesReady" is the way to go; as, "OrdinancesReady" is such, a quick; and, easy, process.
We never had, "OrdinancesReady" up until a few Years ago.
"OrdinancesReady", is simply helpful/useful for those, that are 'caught in a bind'; when, they have a "Temple" visit scheduled (or, are notified of one, scheduled by, a Ward/Branch/Stake/District); but, unfortunately, do not have any "Temple" Cards, for their Ancestors, 'on-hand', available.
Just my thoughts.
Again, please do not take umbrage at my response, no offence was intended.
I know, that this certainly does not help/assist; but, I hope, this provides you with some additional, insight; and, perspective; and, another avenue to pursue.
