Set up double-sided printing on an Epson
Save paper with automatic duplexing on models that support it — and learn the manual flip method for models that don't.
01 · Identify — does this match what you see?
- Can't find the two-sided option
- Second side prints upside down
- Model without auto-duplex needs manual steps
02 · Resolve — follow in order
- 1
In the print dialog, open the layout/finishing settings and tick “Two-Sided” or “Duplex”.
- 2
Choose binding: “Long-edge” for portrait documents, “Short-edge” for landscape — this fixes upside-down back sides.
- 3
If the option is greyed out, the driver thinks the duplexer isn't installed — reinstall the full Epson driver package.
- 4
On models without auto-duplex, print odd pages first, restack them print-side up, and print even pages.
- 5
Test with a two-page document before running a long job.
Pro tip
If two-sided is missing only on one computer, that computer is using a generic or AirPrint driver — install the Epson driver to get the duplexer option back.
