Tip No 84 - Page Separation

Don't you hate it when you do multiple print jobs, then end up wasting time trying to figure out where the first job ends and the next one starts? Or worse - pulling your print jobs out from a bunch of other jobs sitting in the tray of a network printer. It can drive you nuts.
Before you go and seek the advice of a good therapist, you may want to consider a separator page. You can tell the printer in question to print out a page between each print job. That way, you'll know where one job ends and the next one begins. Sure, you'll eat up a piece of paper each time you print, but look at it this way - it's cheaper than tranquilizers.

Here's how to set it up for most printers:
1. Click the Start button, Settings, Printers
2. Right-click your Printer and select "Properties" from the resulting menu
The General tab should be displayed.
3. Next, from the "Separator page" drop down box, select either Simple or Full ('Full' makes a prettier page). Win 2000 users will find they probably need the Advanced tab, "Separator page" button to do this.
4. Click the Apply button and hit the Print Test Page button.
A separator page will print, then your test page. From now on, no more trying to figure out what pages go with which job.

Cool huh?

Tip No 82 - How to print double sided

If your print support duplex printing then on the file menu click on print option. In printing dialog box click on Properties option. Here you will select a check box" Print on both sides" and Ok for print.
But if your printer does not support duplex printing then you can do it manually.
Print the odd number of pages first then on the back side of pages even number. From the printing dialog box select the option "Pages" and put the odd pages range separated by commas, for example 1,3,5,7,9,11. After printing on one side of the page, change the order of pages depending on the paper feeds in your printer.
For the back side enter the even numbers into the "Pages" for example 2,4,6,8,10 or choose "Even pages" from the print drop down box.
