Print on both sides
Halve the paper a long document uses.
Double-sided printing puts page two on the back of page one. The print box calls it two-sided, or sometimes duplex.
Many printers turn the paper themselves. The rest print one side and ask you to feed the stack back in.
Key points
- Double-sided prints page two on the back of page one, and halves the paper
- Long edge turns like a book; short edge turns like a notepad
What to remember
- Long edge turns like a book.
- A pause for the stack is the printer doing both sides.
Try this
Open the print box for anything long and look for Print on both sides, or Two-sided. Read what it says before you press Print.
