How to Make Your Printer Print Two Sided

Printing two-sided documents is a convenient way to conserve paper and reduce waste. Many printers are capable of printing on both sides of the page, but it may require some setup and configuration depending on your printer model and operating system. In this article, we will walk you through the steps to make your Brother HL-XXXX Series printer print two-sided documents.

First, ensure that your printer is connected to your computer and turned on. Open the application or program that you want to print from and select the print command. This may be located in the File menu, or it may vary depending on your application. Clicking on the Print button will open the Print window.

In the Print window, click on the Layout tab (or Copies & Pages if available) and select the option for two-sided printing. If you have a Macintosh computer running OS 10.4-10.6, click the blue down arrow to expand the Print window. For Macintosh computers running OS 10.7-10.10, click the Show Details button.

Next, select your printer model from the list of available printers and click on the Properties or Preferences button. This will open a new window with various settings options. In this window, look for the Duplex/Booklet option and select either 'Duplex' or 'Duplex (Manual)' depending on whether you want to use automatic duplex printing or manual duplex printing.

For manual duplex printing, follow the on-screen instructions for loading paper and completing the print job. For automatic duplex printing, the document will automatically print on both sides of the paper. You can also adjust other printer driver settings as needed, such as specifying the binding offset in inches or millimeters.

When using manual duplex printing, you may need to reinsert the paper after the first side has been printed to continue printing on the second side. Your printer driver will instruct you to do this with a pop-up message.

By following these steps, you can set up your Brother HL-XXXX Series printer to print two-sided documents and reduce your environmental impact while also saving paper and ink.
