Printing A5 inserts on A5 size paper

 

By default most printers are set to print on letter size paper. To change the paper size navigate to the Page Setup... button to set your paper size. To print on A5 sized paper set the Paper Size to A5 then proceed to select the remainder of your Print dialog box settings. 


  1. Select how many copies you want to print.
  2. Select All in the Pages to Print section (you may print select pages if you wish to only use some pages or to print more pages as needed).
  3. Select Actual size under Page Sizing & Handling
  4. If your printer supports duplex printing select Print on both sides of the paper, then select Flip on long edge. If your printer does not support duplex printing see instructions below Duplex Printing.


 ... Duplex Printing ...

If your printer supports duplex printing check the box next to ‘Print on both sides of paper’. Then below select ‘flip on long edge’.

If your printer does not support duplex printing, you will need to print the odd pages first (this option is available under the More Options within the Pages to Print Section.)

Once the odd pages are printed, reinsert the paper into the printing tray. This time in the print dialog box select even pages under Pages to Print.

TIP: Run a test print to observe the way in which paper feeds into your printer. You’ll need to make sure you reinsert your odd pages into your printer in the correct way for the even pages to print correctly. Paper feeds into printers differently depending on their make/model, if paper is fed incorrectly you will have upside down pages.
