Welcome. Today we are going to look at printing a two sided document from a Windows Computer. This video will cover multiple models and operating systems. Even though your machine may not match the model referred to on the screen the overall process will be the same.

Before beginning, be sure to verify that your model is capable of duplex printing. This information can be found in the user’s manual or can be determined from the model number of your Brother machine.

For example, in the model number MFC-L8900CDW the “D” stands for duplex or two-sided print. If the model number of your machine does not contain a “D” you will not be able to set it to automatically print both sides of a document.

Open a multiple page document in your software application and select the print option. Then click on Printer Properties. Please note that this option may alternately be listed as Preferences in some applications.

The Printer Properties window will now display. Under the basic tab click on the “2-sided/Booklet” field and select the “2-sided” option from the dropdown.

Click on “2-sided Settings” to select the orientation of the duplexed pages. Once the orientation is selected click “OK.”

Then click “OK” again

Now click Print.

Your Brother Machine will print the 2 Sided document.

To make Duplex printing your default setting, go to Devices and Printer. Right click on the icon for your Printer and choose Printing Preferences. Then select your duplex settings as before then click “OK.”

All following print jobs will now print on both sides of the page.
