The printers in the 2nd floor computer lab have the ability to print duplex (on both sides of the paper) - saving countless trees and making you a better person. If you’d like to take advantage of this feature, follow the following instructions:

On a Mac:

  * In the Printer dialogue menu, select your target printer;
  * Click on the “Copies & Pages” drop-down menu;
  * Click Layout;
  * Click on Long Edge Binding next to the two sided printing option; and
  * Click Print.

On a PC:

  * Make sure the double-sided printing option is enabled on your computer:

      * Click on Start-> Printers & Faxes;
      * Right-Click on your printer and select Properties;
      * Select the “Device Settings” tab;
      * Scroll down to Expandable options (expand it if it’s collapsed);
      * Click on “Duplex Unit”, select installed if it’s set to “not installed”; and
      * Click OK.

  * Select double-sided printing when sending a print job:
      o on a PC: File->Print, then select your printer;
      o Click on Preferences or Properties;
      o Click on the Finishing Tab; and
      o Make sure the “print on both sides” checkbox is checked.

Your printing should now be on both sides of the paper.

If you’d like that to be the default behavior:

  * On a PC: Start-> Printers & Faxes;
  * Right-Click on your printer and select Printing Preferences;
  * Click on the Finishing Tab;
  * Make sure the “print on both sides” checkbox is checked.

Now everything you print to that printer should come out double-sided.
