Printers - How to Print Single-Sided (One-Sided)

Summary

How to print single-sided (one-sided) on a Mac using  the system dialogue from the Chrome print menu.

Workplace Experience requires double-sided printing, which saves paper and is better for the environment. Please consider printing double-sided whenever single-sided is not specifically required. Also, the Preview Application does not allow setting single- or double-sided printing. If you are printing a PDF and have special requirements, open it in Adobe Reader.

NOTE: Some applications utilize their own print dialogue boxes which may appear different from the examples below. Look for a similar option in that application's print dialogue to replicate these steps.

• Then choose Print using system dialogue... 

When you print a document, the following dialogue box usually appears first.
