Topic 9: Printer Duplexing

Duplexing a document is extremely easy from any public machine.  All machines when logged in as a student (not adjusted to simplex previously in the active program, and sending to a Black & White printer) will duplex automatically.  So, when a patron sends her document to print, that printer will automatically print on both sides.   But, some patrons would prefer their print to be one-sided.  So, this can be done by declining the duplex option.  This option is available once the patron has chosen to print and the print box appears.

Staff printing is similar. Once you select print, you'll be able to switch between the one and two-sided options near the middle of the screen.

Use the Tech Tag Word document for this exercise.

There will be differences when using different applications and wishing to print duplex or simplex.  But, the general idea is covered above and what was shown can be applied to many programs.
