The duplex function is a property of your printer driver. Set the print
options to print duplex.
Your printer has to be able to do this of course.
Otherwise print the odd pages, turn the paper over and print the even pages
on the backs

the printer has got the facility to print double sided.

i have gone into word - print - options

i cant find the section to do duplex printing, there is a section: options
for duplex printing which has a tick box front or back of sheet but i still
have to manually get up and go the printer and put the paper back in the
paper tray.

is there any way of avoiding manually turning the paper over?

If your printer driver does offer this function, it will be switched off by
default - check the printer properties from the print options and set the
required option.

This will of course make the printer print everything double sided. If your
printer accepts PCL commands, you may be able to use a PRINT field. A PRINT
field is simply a type of field that allows you to send instructions
directly to the printer.

There are 3 possible data values for duplex setting: PRINT 27"&l0S" simplex
PRINT 27"&l1S" vertical duplex . PRINT 27"&l2S" horizontal duplex
(bookformat)

The codes after PRINT are 27 (escape), double quote, ampersand, lowercase L,
0, 1 or 2, uppercase S and finally terminated with a double quote.

Thus for horizontal duplex you would insert the following field :
{ PRINT 27"&l2S" }

Another plan is to set up a second 'printer' using the same driver, with its
options set to print duplex. You can then choose whether to print duplex or
not simply by selecting the appropriate 'printer'. Use the method suggested
at http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm to print to the required version
without having to go through menu options.

What printer do you have? Is it a genuine DUPLEX printer with a mechanical
duplex option or do you have a printer that just has a software duplex
option in the driver? If it is the latter, you need to turn over the paper
manually.
