In Word, do the following:. Click the File tab. Click Print. Under Settings, click Print One Sided, and then click Manually Print on Both Sides.
When you print, Word will prompt you to turn over the stack to feed the pages into the printer again. Note: When you print with the manual duplex option, you might want to run a test to determine the correct way to reload the pages for the printer you’re using.

Mac OS X: Duplex Printing The following applies to Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5. Mac OS X Print lets you create a preset which can become your default print format, or specify duplex on a per-file basis. Make sure the printer you are using is set up for duplex (two-sided) printing. Also, some applications (such as InDesign), and some file formats may not be compatible with duplex printing. Create a Duplex Printing Preset. Open the file or web page you wish to print.
Select File Print, or do Command-P. In the print dialog box, click the drop-down menu which gives the name of the application, or says Copies & Pages, and select Layout. Click the Two-Sided drop down menu and select the appropriate binding. Long-edge binding prints with the orientation on the vertical edge; Short-edge binding prints with the orientation along the horizontal edge. Click the Presets drop-down menu and select Save As. Enter a name for your duplex preset. Your duplex preset will be the one selected each time you open the print dialog box, unless you select another preset.
If you do not create a duplex preset, you can print the open file or web page by selecting Layout from the drop-down menu in the print dialog box, and then selecting a binding option in the Two-Sided drop-down menu. Another way of Duplex Printing for MAC Note: Mac settings are not saved so it has to be done manually each time you print. I will change the settings for Mac uses via web permanently when I am there next time. Click File menu and select Print. Select the Layout drop down selection. If two sided printing is available you will have the option to use Long Edge Binding (for Portrait) or Short Edge Binding (for Landscape).
