You can test which way to print by writing "Top Side" or some such,
landscape on a sheet of paper and then putting it face up and head to
the left into the printer's paper tray and sending a spread with some
content on it to the printer. Where the print comes out relative to what
you wrote will tell you which way you need to place the once-printed
sheets before sending them for their second pass. Many laser printers
have automatic duplexing, so clearly there's no problem with printing
the back sides.

Subject: [SPAM-BAYESIAN] - 2-sided laser printing

The piece is a 5.5x8.5" flyer to be hand delivered in a neighborhood
affected by an upcoming Flag Day parade.

It was to be b&w but when my client saw my color prototype, he decided
to donate printing on his color laser.

Two quick questions:

1. Is it safe to send a color laser print through the laser printer to
print the other side? I might worry that toner from the back would fuse
to rollers or something.

2. Does it work to place the front and back side by side, both head up;
print one side; then flop the paper the **Long** way and print the other
side?
