Summary:
In Word, back-to-front printing may not be available for all printers. Printers that do not use Apple’s LaserWriter driver may not have the Back To Front Option in the Print dialog box.
When you use the LaserWriter driver from Apple, Back To Front should be an option in the Print dialog box (from the File menu, choose Print). This feature is useful when you produce two-sided documents by selecting the Mirror/Even Odd check box in the Document dialog box (from the Format menu, choose Document).
In most cases, printers that do not have the Back To Front option can be adjusted to allow the pages to be sent back through the printer for two-sided printing.
More Information:
The following printers do not support back-to-front printing in Word version 5.1:
