Print 2 Sideds Manual On Mac

One of the things that frustrates me when I try to print my documents in Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 is that, although my printer does double-sided printing, the Microsoft Word dialogue box does not show an option for two-sided printing. So, instead of just sucking it up and accepting I just have to double my pages, here’s a workaround.

HP Printers - How to Print on Both Sides of the Paper (Duplex) (Mac) This document is for HP printers connected to a Mac computer. To print on both sides of the paper, configure the print settings for automatic two-sided printing (if available) or manual paper handling. I have a Brother MFC-7340 that allows manual duplex printing. I've updated the drivers, but when I try and print two sided, the box under 'Layout' on the Print screen is grayed out. Is this because OS X doesn't recognize manual duplex as true duplex printing? Any way to enable this option? The manual says I can print 2-sided but when I try the option is greyed out in the printer driver. Printing 2-sided printing from a mac on Phaser 6022; Options. This information can be found in the user’s manual or can be determined from the model number of your Brother machine. To ensure your Brother machine is set to Two-Sided printing, click on. Oct 27, 2017  The 'manual' two-sided printing should allow you to print on both sides of the pages. The difference is that the printer should print all odd pages first, then ask you to pick up the printed pages and feed them back at the paper tray. After that you hit a button and the printer should print all.

Mac It runs great and screams pretty nice as well.

Click the PDF button in the lower left hand corner of the Microsoft Word Print dialogue box. Choose Open PDF in Preview. Your document will open up in the Preview app.

Go to File > Print.

Click the Two-Sided check box and click Print.

To get back to Microsoft Word when you’re done printing you can close the Preview document or go to File > Quit Preview to close the application.

This will save you a whole lot of paper and quite a bit of frustration!

I have an HP 1022 printer attached to my Mac OS X Lion.

When I try to print a 4-page PDF file from Preview or Adobe Reader, it prints pages 1 and 3 and then all 3 lights on the HP 1022 printer start blinking.

I suspect that perhaps the printer or the system is in some kind of manual double-side printing mode, but I could not find where I can turn it on or off using the Mac OS printing dialogs.

You can go to Print & Scan in the system preferences and select Options & Supplies for your printer. In there, you should see an option for Duplex Unit (if your printer supports it). If that is checked, you can use the automatic double-side printing (by checking the Two-sided box next to Copies). If not, or if that option is unavailable, you can't.

In case you can't select that option, here's how you can manually print double-sided pages.

Manual double-side printing

You can control manual double-side printing (i.e., you physically turn the sheets over) using the Paper Handling setting in the print dialog.

If you select Paper Handling, you'll find a Pages to Print option that lets you print either only the odd pages or only the even pages (default is both). To print double side manually, select Odd Only first and when it finishes printing, flip the pages over and select Even Only

Instead of flipping each page over to its blank side before printing the even pages, you have a more convenient option of flipping the entire block of pages, so that the last sheet is on top (useful when you have a lot of pages to be printed). With this, you can then choose Reverse in Page Order to print the even numbered pages backwards. (Note: be careful that if you have an odd-number of pages in total, you might have to leave the last one out before printing the even ones.)

In a search, I just found this great tool from HP that facilitates manual duplex printing from OSX with minimal steps. I just tried it with success using my Epson NX-515.

With my printer I can:

  1. Select Paper Handling > Pages to Print > Odd Only and print the pages.
  2. Insert the pile of papers on the tray again so that the printed side is facing up and the text is not upside down.
  3. Select Paper Handling > Pages to Print > Even Only and print the pages.

With a printer that prints on the other side, follow the steps described by rm -rf:

  1. Select Paper Handling > Pages to Print > Odd Only and print the pages.
  2. If the total number of pages is odd, remove the last page
  3. Flip the pile of papers and insert it on the tray.
  4. Select Paper Handling > Pages to Print > Even Only, select Paper Handling > Pages to Print > Reverse, and print the pages.

I've found that for my printer at least (a Brother HL-3070CW), it's easier to:

  • print the even pages first
  • flip the pages so the printed side is up and put them back in the tray
  • print the odd pages

This way you end up with the pages in the correct order when finished and don't have to worry about selecting reverse.
