= SUMMARY =

Whether a printer prints unidirectionally or bidirectionally is based on the complexity of the print stream it receives. There are several different printing features in Word that could cause a printer to print unidirectionally.

One such feature is microspace justification, which is a complex process of aligning text with proportionally spaced fonts. Microspace justification can be turned off by setting the “draft:” field to “Yes” under Print Options. This does not affect the print quality. However, it will disable paragraph justification.

If line numbers are being printed, the printer will print unidirectionally. Line numbers can be turned off by selecting “No” under Format Division Line-Numbers.
