If you are reading this guide, you most likely already have everything you will need, but in case you are wondering, these are the requirements for this Instructable: A Printing Source - I say "Source" and not computer because there are so many different devices that can be used with a computer including tablets and smart phones (all of which are technically computers anyway, but I try to avoid confusion).
I do this on practically everything!īefore you point out that some programs like MS Word have an option for "Manual Duplex" printing that help with this process, this is not available in every situation, and the beginning process I have laid out is beneficial in knowing how to reload your paper even if using that feature is the route you want to go. It usually takes only a minute to do (or a lot less once you you get the hang of it), but will instantly reduce your paper usage! How much paper can you save? that all depends on what you normally print. How much paper would be saved if this stuff was simply printed on double sided paper? Even more appalling is that businesses and schools typically have large industrial printer/copiers that can do all of the hard work for you, but people still don't use the doubled sided print settings.Īlthough I can't show you how on each individual brand of printer, I will show you how you can easily print double sided from home on the two most common types of household printers: top load and front load. The worst part of it is, most of the information is destined for the trash (or paper recycling, if you have it). At work, school, or randomly on the street, whenever I am given a packet of information, it is never double sided.
