Step 4: Paper size & scaling

Choose the following settings:

• • Paper size: Half Letter

  • Scaling: Actual Size (100%)
    
    

Step 5: Duplex settings

If your printer is not set up for automatic double-sided printing, please head to our Manual Duplex Printing Quick Guide. If your printer is capable of printing duplex, follow the below settings: 

1. Select Print on both sides

2. Set to Flip on Long Edge (also written as Flip Over in some programs)

3. Print your document

NOTE: Some printers have special requirements for duplex printing and may set flip parameters differently. Please follow your printer’s instructions for duplex printing if they differ from the steps above.
