24 Do you use XSane to scan it? You setup the printer in Setup menu under
25 "Copy" and scan in duplex mode. If you printer is setup by default to
26 print duplex it will print it correctly, in duplex. If not you will get
27 two pages, it prints directly to a printer (the print windows doesn't
28 pop-up).

30 I suggest to scan it first to a document and print it in duplex.
