Two-sided printing of documents is a wonderful invention of mankind, which allows not only saving paper, but also helping to save time.
Almost all printers have a duplex function in 2 runs, that is, after one side of the sheet is printed, a message appears asking you to turn the sheet over and refill it to the printer. Often at this stage errors occur, the paper is in the printer in the wrong position, and the user is forced to reprint the damaged sheet. A dubious way to save time and save trees from a pulp and paper mill.
However, devices have now been distributed with which two-sided printing can be carried out in one run. No turning over and reflection, doubts about which side to feed the sheet into the printer tray! Printing is done simultaneously on both sides!
Here it’s worth sorting out. Not every printer has such a function, before you go into its settings, you should check a specific model for this possibility. As a rule, large office two-tier cars have this ability, but home ones - only in exceptional cases.
In addition, the software installed on the printer may not provide such a function, although the design of the MFP may allow duplex printing. If you know for sure that the device provides for two-sided printing on a printer, you should look for suitable drivers on the manufacturer’s website.
When all the necessary software is updated, you should
set up the printer. This can be done using the instructions that came with the device, a copy of which can be found electronically on the manufacturer’s website. If two-sided printing is not required continuously, but only periodically, you can change this setting by pressing the "Printer Properties" button in the window that appears in Microsoft Word after clicking on "File-Print" or Ctrl + P combination. If the MFP does not provide for this, it remains only to use the software of a text editor.
In order for Word duplex printing to succeed, in the aforementioned window, which is displayed after the command to print the document is launched, check the "duplex printing" box. This item will be present in the window in any case, but the document will be ready in only 2 runs. So it’s better to know in advance how to print a two-sided document on a specific printer, which side to put the paper in the tray, so that the second run is successful.
Two-sided printing on complex
office printers can be configured automatically, that is, any document will be printed in two-sided form, unless the user has specified otherwise in the
text editor settings.
Sure, duplex printing can be very convenient. With its help, you can save a lot of time printing the necessary materials, especially with significant volumes. Therefore, it is worthwhile, firstly, to carefully choose a home printer, and secondly, to tinker with the settings once in order to later enjoy the fruits of your labor.
