Click the drop-down menu below the orientation options. By default, it will have the name of the app or program you are using.
Select "Layout". It's in the pulldown menu with the name of the app you are using.
Click the "Two-Sided" drop-down menu. It is below the "border" drop-down menu.
1. If the "Two-Sided" drop-down menu is greyed out, your printer may not support double-sided printing.
Select "Long-edge binding" or "Short-edge binding".
1. "Long-edge binding" is what is most commonly used. Select this option if you plan on binding your pages by the long edges of the paper. This would be the left and right edges if you are printing using portrait orientation.
2. Select "Short-edge binding" if you plan of binding your pages by the short edges of the paper. This would be the top and bottoms of the pages using portrait orientation, or the left and right using landscape orientation.
Click Print. Your pages will now print double-sided.
