Here is the guide pre-formatted so that you can easily print it with a printer capable of duplex (double sided) printing or with any other printer.
You can use the above booklet format to print a booklet on any printer even if it doesn’t have automatic booklet printing features.
If your printer supports double sided (Duplex) printing, just select that option. Most printer’s do not – so when printing, in the print options, choose “Even pages”. Before you start printing, make a small pencil mark in a corner of the top paper in the paper tray. Then print those even pages. Then take those printed pages and put them in the paper tray so that the mark you made in the corner, is now on the other side and in the opposite corner on short edge of the paper, and makes sure that that paper is on top. Now print the same file but print the “Odd pages”, and it should print correctly on the back. You should now be able to simply fold and staple the booklet. Here is a booklet printing guide that explains how you can format other documents like this too to make your own booklets without wasting paper.
