double prints
this is a how to post. cause i need to do this so rarely that i forget how between times. anywho, this is how to print pages double sided on a printer that only prints single sided pages. specifically, our single sided printer. like say 72 pages of taxes. wee. if there's an odd number of pages, print the last one. now you have an even number of pages. and things become easier. do maybe 10 pages at a time. sometimes the stupid printer sucks in two pages at once. in which case you'll end up with a whole lot of pages printed incorrectly. okay. first, make a little pencil mark in the right hand corner of the top sheet of paper in the paper feeder. second, print the even pages in reverse order. our printer normally prints the pages last to first so the first page ends up on top and the stack is in forwards order. choose the reverse order option so the pages are printed first to last so the last page ends up on top and the stack is in reverse order. got it? yeah, don't think. just check the damn box. third, the tops of the pages should be near you. flip the tops up and over towards the printer to where the bottoms were. the little pencil dot should be right back where it started. fourth, flip the stack of pages over left to right so the tops are still away from you and the bottoms are still close to you. the last page should be oriented so you can read it. fifth, stick the stack of pages back into the feeder. lastly, print the odd pages. if everything went okay, you're done! congratulations.
