Xerox Phaser 3010 Printer


If you have bought new Xerox phaser 3010 model printer and you want to
print several pages, you might be well aware of absence of Duplex
printing option on this printer. And if you want duplex manually on your
macbook which doesn't even show Duplex option even in inactive mode,
then these steps can make your life little easy:





i) Print in multiples of 10 or 20 to make life easy.





ii) Now to print first 20 pages (numbered) of your original document,
you need only 10 sheets as you are going to print on both sides i.e.
duplex printing manually.





iii) Though you need only 10 sheets to print 20 pages, don't count
exactly 10 sheets and load into the tray but randomly pick thicker chunk
with more than 10 sheets. Don't worry about how many sheets have been
picked, but you must pick handful of sheets more than 10 (will explain
the reason for more than 10).





iv) Load this chunk onto the tray of printer and set the printer as
usual. Then go to your original document, click 'Print' option. You will
get a template if it is a Acrobat file similar to the one show below:










you can see i'm trying to print a document which has 510 pages using manual duplex option on Xerox phaser 3010.





v) But when you want to print in multiples of 20 pages of original, i
said we need only 10 sheets and i had asked to load quite a chunk of
sheets to print these first 20 pages. If you want to print only 20
sheets, then template would like below:









you can see pages 1 - 20 in this template.



vi) Once you get this go to the next option 'Sub set' below that. Here
choose 'Even pages only' option. And then select 'Reverse pages' option
too. Now the template looks like this:







vii) Now click 'ok'. Once you click ok, it will print pages 20, 18,
16......2 thats it. Wait till it prints 2 i.e. completes its task of
printing all even numbered pages between 1 - 20 in reverse order. After
this, now discard all other blank sheets from the tray since I had asked
you to pick a larger chunk greater than 10 sheets. Now those 10 printed
sheets are at the top. Don't touch and disturb the order. Follow the
next few steps carefully, which are important and will reduce your work
to great extent.



viii) Now the those printed sheets are actually in a manner in which the
page no. 2 is at the top but with a blank sheet facing you while page 2
is face down. Which means page no. 1 will be printed on this page. Now,
you pick those 10 sheets and load them onto tray but while doing so
rotate the sheets 180 degrees as that is the feeding position. Once you
load, again click 'Print' option. After clicking print operation, next
follow the same procedure i.e.

- go to pages 1 - 20; go to subset, now opt 'Odd pages only' option; and
then undo the Reverse pages option. It will look like the template
shown below:









Now click ok.





ix) Now odd page nos. 1, 3 ....19 will be printed on the back side of those even numbered pages. 





x) Now get the rhythm right. Next go for pages 21 - 40 and so on...





Now why i asked you initially to pick a chunk of sheets instead of
exactly 10 is that there is every bit a chance of you picking only 9
sheets and giving command to print 1-20 which causes error and
everything will be printed wrongly. So, when you pick a chunk, you can
avoid this error. I committed this error and wasted 10 sheets.
