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 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org jenniss wrote: i want to print double sided in word but am unsure how to can anybody give me instructions please. |

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" } -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org jenniss wrote: 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?

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. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Graham Mayor wrote: 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.

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. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "jenniss" wrote in message ... : 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? : : "Graham Mayor" wrote: : : The duplex function is a property of your printer driver.
