How do you print on both sides of the paper with a printer? 

Duplex printing, or double-sided printing, is something many people use with their printers and copiers. It can help you save paper and money! 

But figuring out how to do it can be tricky sometimes. There are two main ways to duplex print, and which method you choose may depend on your needs and goals. 

We’ve been a trusted local printer company in Texas since the 1980s, with a team that has over 200 years of combined experience in the industry. 

In this article, we’ll break down what duplex printing is, the different types, how to do it, and the benefits of printing on both sides of the paper. 
Printing on both sides of the page can look a little different based on your machine. Since we work closely with Xerox, we’ll share steps specifically for using a Xerox printer.

Looking through the different printer brands and trying to figure out how a specific model compares to another is hard when the differences could seem small at first glance. 

In the case of Xerox, they offer multiple product families, including devices in the AltaLink, VersaLink, and PrimeLink categories, among others.
