Question

Hi Microsoft,

Answer 1

Install a second instance of the computer and in the  Settings>Devices,>Printers & Scanners set the properties of one of them so that it will print in duplex mode and rename it to reflect that mode.  Then, depending upon how you want to print, select the appropriate printer.

Answer 2

If you open Settings>Devices,>Printers & Scanners, select your printer, then click Manage>Printer Properties, then Preferences. There should be a "Print on both sides" check box if you have a duplexer installed on the printer. Check the box and your printer will always print on both sides.

If you want to print on both sides for just the current print job, you should see a "Two sided" check box in the left-hand pane of the print dialog.

Hello Simon,

Here you have some thoughts about how to print different files without having to opening one by one, I hope it helps you out.
