Double-Sided Printing

Most printers and copiers on-campus support double-sided printing. Simply look for the following PaperCut prompt and adjust accordingly to print double-sided.

If you do not see this prompt, the alternative method is to configure the printer’s properties for double-sided printing. Refer to the below instructions on how to configure the printer.

Configuring your printer for double-sided printing

Please note that not all of our printers support double-sided printing. Consult with Technology Services if you have any questions.

  1. At the print screen, click More Settings.
  2. Click the Finishing tab.
  3. Check Print on both sides.
  4. Click OK and print your document.

Changing your file name for double-sided printing

You can also print double-sided by simply adding the word “duplex” into your document’s file name.

  • Example 1: If your document’s file name is APA Style Guidelines.docx, simply rename or save-as APA Style Guidelines duplex.docx.
  • Example 2: If your spreadsheet’s file name is BADM Rubric.xls, simply rename or save-as BADM Rubric duplex.xls.
  • Example 3: If your document’s file name is Exam Questions.doc, simply rename or save-as Exam Questions duplex.doc.

For example, if a 10 page document was uploaded to Moodle as APA Style Guidelines duplex.docx, anyone that downloads and prints this document from a Trinity printer will be converted to double-sided.
