You can print on both sides of a sheet of paper by manually turning a sheet of paper over and
feeding it into the printer again.
Manual duplex is only supported on computers running Windows. To print on both sides of a
page, you must specify two-sided printing options in your software application or in the
printer driver.

until it stops.
