Double-sided printing

Double-sided printing is not a supported function here in the library. The printer charges per page, not per piece of paper. The user will not "save" money this way, only paper. Also, we can not guarantee that the job will work out satisfactorily.

However, if there is a need to send a double-sided print job from one of the public computers, here are some directions to try.

Select Print
Select printer (e.g., Penguin)
Click on Properties
Duplex option appears on the menu. The default is "off."
Change the duplex option to "open to left."

Continue as you normally would; selecting pages to print, etc.

You may want to test the print job first by just doing the first 2 pages if it is a long document.
