Printing double-sided cuts paper usage in half and makes planners feel like a real notebook. Most printers support duplex printing, either automatically or with a manual flip. This guide covers both methods.
On Windows, open print dialog (Ctrl+P) and look for Duplex or Two-Sided option under Properties. On Mac, open print dialog (Cmd+P), click Show Details, look for Two-Sided checkbox.
Long-edge binding flips like a book (correct for portrait planners). Short-edge flips like a notepad (correct for landscape calendars). Wrong binding results in the back page being upside down.
Print odd pages first. Reinsert the printed stack into the feed tray with the printed side facing the correct direction. Print even pages. Test with 2 pages first to verify orientation.
Adjust paper guides so paper sits flush. Add 1 to 2 mm margin adjustment in printer preferences if sides are offset. Run your printer's duplex alignment test if available.
Use at least 100 gsm paper to prevent bleed-through. Let inkjet prints dry 30 seconds between sides. Laser printers handle duplex better. Always select Actual Size rather than Fit to Page.
