Color or Single-sided Printing for a Document

March 7, 2024 by lmg9

The default settings for all faculty and staff printing is mono and double-sided. If you want to print in color and/or one-sided, please do the following:

  1. If in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc., click File and then click Print. For other programs, you can also display the dialog box by simply pressing Ctrl+P.
  2. Using the Name drop-down list, select the printer you want to use.
  3. Click on the Printer Properties link under the name of the printer. The exact appearance of the dialog box, and the controls it contains, depends on the printer. For the HP printers, the settings are under Finishing (print on both sides) and Color (print in grayscale). For the copiers, it’s on the Layout tab (print on both sides).
  4. Click on OK to close the Properties dialog box.
  5. Click on OK from the Print dialog box. Your document will be printed.
