The PDF versions of the
brochures are designed to be printed with page 1 on
one side of a piece of paper and page 2 on the other.
If you have a duplex printer you will be able to print
on both sides without having to manually re-insert the
paper to print the other side. Some new printers come
have settings to allow easy manual duplexing. Feel
free to follow your printer's directions if you are
already familiar with them.
Below are instructions to manually
print the brochures.
The instructions and pictures may be
different from your computer depending on what
operating system, version of Adobe Reader and printer
you are using, but the general idea is the same.
Step 1:
Open the PDF version of the brochure you wish to print
by clicking on the "Open PDF Version" button
on the introduction page.
Step 2: Select
the "Print" option by clicking on either of
the printer icons or selecting
"Print..." from the "File" menu.
Step 3:
Select the printer you wish to use and click on the
"Properties..." button. Make sure to select
the "Landscape" printing orientation. Then
click on the OK button to return to the print window.
(NOTE: You may also be able to get away with checking
the "Auto-Rotate and Center" checkbox. You'd
have to try it and see if it prints correctly. Most
times this will change the margins on so the brochure
will not fold correctly.)
Step 4:
Select the "Pages from:" option and change
both page numbers to 1. This will only print the first
page. Click the "OK" button to print page 1.
NOTE: For
best results, make sure the Page
Scaling option is
set to None and the
Auto-Rotate and Center
option is not checked
(see picture below).
Step 5:
Notice which way the paper comes out of the printer.
Especially make note of the edge of the paper with the
bottom of the text. Place the paper back in the
printer with the bottom text edge of the page on the
same side of the printer, but so that the blank side
of the paper will be printed on. If you have a printer
that has a manual paper tray, use it for this.
Step 6:
Select to print again, but this time select to print
page 2 by putting a 2 into both the page range boxes.
Click the "OK" button to print the page.
If done correctly, you should have
the completed brochure printed on both sides. You can
now fold it into a tri-fold brochure. If the printing
on one side of the paper is upside-down to the other,
the paper got turned around somewhere in the printing
process. Try again and make sure to put the paper back
into the printer so that the second side prints
correctly. |
