Memo

How to use duplex or double sided printing in Mac. Place the printed pages back in the paper tray face down. Point the top of the pages toward the printer and make sure the edges of the pages are square with each other. As mentioned above, the default behaviour in macOS is to automatically turn on two-sided printing in case a printer that supports Duplex Mode is connected to a Mac. However, not every document is suitable for two-sided printing.
