====== Notary and Notary2 Duplex Function (Windows Version) ======


If you want to print on both sides of the page, but are too lazy to print every other page and then flip the stack over, both Notary and Notary2 printers have a duplex (print on both sides) function.



===== If your Notary printers are already configured to print duplex =====

You are in luck. Just change the drop down to the print on both sides option.

===== If your Notary printers are not configured to print duplex =====

**NOTE:** It appears that Windows 10 is not allowing administrators to configure printers for specific users.:-(  Individual users need to do this themselves. 

**NOTE:** Microsoft likes to move things around during windows updates so the exact procedures may vary. This is current as of  --- //[[support@cs.ndsu.edu|local admin]] 2021/07/17 10:59//

If you try to print on both sides and see that duplex printing is not available, follow the steps below.
