Printing Double Sided Behind the Desk with Specialty Paper

Hey guys!

Today a patron came up to the desk asking if she could print her resume on card stock and have it double sided since she had two pages in her document. When printing specialty paper, procedure says to use the Bypass Tray located on the side of the print. However while going through the instructions, Greg, Eve and I realized that automatic double sided printing was not available. In the print properties dialog box, the option to have double sided printing was faded out. It was only available with the automatic trays. In our situation luckily, the patron decided to print with the resume paper that we can provide,which we were able to run through the normal tray. However this work around we figured out for right now.

One Copy

• Feed the single sheet through the side
• Once the paper has come out you will see that the writing is face down , flip the sheet so that the freshly printed side is now facing up
• Now feed the paper again through the Bypass Tray with the bottom of the page entering first

Multiple Copies

• In the print options dialog box, select how many copies you want
• Change the "page range" option from all to only page 1
• Load the paper into the Bypass Tray and hit print
• Once all of the papers have printed, take the stack and flip it so the wording is facing up and the bottom of the page is entering the tray first
• Now go back to the computer, and open the print dialog box
• Select the number of copies you want and change the "page range" option to now only print page 2
• Now hit print and again and you should now have a stack of double sided specialty paper

This method is fairly manual, so if there is a better way to go about this, please comment!! :)
