Open the File you Desire to Print

The very first thing you have to do is to tap on the File icon and choose Print from the options. After that, navigate to the Show Details tab and check if the two-sided option is selected or not.

In case the option is selected, then it indicates that your printer supports the duplexing feature. You have to tap on the small checkbox that is shown on the right side of the screen.

Now, move to select the “Layout” option from the unnamed print tab. Next, choose a binding icon from the Two-sided menu. At the final step, tap on the Print icon.
