<title>Print two-sided and multi-page layouts</title>
<p>To print on both sides of each sheet of paper:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Open the print dialog by pressing
<keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>P</key></keyseq>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Go to the <gui>Page Setup</gui> tab of the Print window and choose an
option from the <gui>Two-sided</gui> drop-down list. If the option is
disabled, two-sided printing is not available for your printer.</p>
<p>Printers handle two-sided printing in different ways. It is a good
idea to experiment with your printer to see how it works.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>You can print more than one page of the document per <em>side</em> of
paper too. Use the <gui>Pages per side</gui> option to do this.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<note>
<p>The availability of these options may depend on the type of printer you
have, as well as the application you are using. This option may not always
be available.</p>
