Duplex Printing

This guide explains how to set your notebook computer and the Stern public computers to print on both sides of a sheet of paper (duplex printing). Duplex printing saves paper and costs only one page against your print quota. Stretch your print quota by utilizing the duplex printing option!

All Stern public printers are duplex capable and set to print duplex by default. Sometimes, the default duplex setting becomes switched to non-duplex. To reset a printer to push the duplex by default setting, restart the printer and/or contact the helpdesk if the problem persists.

Follow the instructions below to enable duplex printing from your notebook PC. For a How-to-guide on installing Stern printers for your wireless notebook computer, click here.
