1. Print Odd Pages (Questions) First

2. Print the Even Pages (Answers)

Now take the printed paper and put it back into your printer’s paper input tray.

Note: Depending on your printer you may have to flip or turn the stack of paper. Before you print a complete deck of cards, try printing only the first 4 pages so that you can test which way you have to put the paper back into your printer.

Once more, click the menu: File > Print…
This time, print only the Even pages (answer sides)

(B) Automatic Double-Sided (Duplex) Printing

Depending on your printer, you now can activate duplex or two-sided printing in the print options. For some printer models, you can do this by selecting the Output Settings menu and set “Two-sided Printing” to “Yes”.

Other models might have a separate “Duplex Printing” menu in the print options.
