Printing Double-Sided in the Computer Lab

You are not allowed to edit this page.

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.
