How to Use the Duplex Capability of a Printer
- 1). Skim your printer's user manual to ensure that it has duplex capabilities.
- 2). Ensure that the printer is on. Verify that the universal paper tray contains the appropriate paper and the paper is inserted correctly.
- 3). Open the file you wish to print. From the "File" menu, select "Print" and then "Properties." The print driver window opens.
- 4). Select the duplexing option, which is usually "Open to left," "2-sided," "duplexing," "Print on both sides" or something similar. You may need to click the "Advanced" button or select a different tab to view the duplexing option.
- 5). Select the paper layout. Your choices include landscape, which may be called "flip on short edge," and portrait, which may be called "flip on long edge."
- 6). Select any other necessary options, such as the paper tray, black and white or color and number of copies. Click "OK."
