Directions

Remember . . .

 

  • The first and sixteenth sheets are the front side of the first paper, and the second and fifteenth sheets are the back side of the first paper.

  • The third and fourteenth sheets are the front side of the second paper, and the fourth and thirteenth sheets are the back side of the second paper.

  • The fifth and twelfth sheets are the front side of the third paper, and the sixth and eleventh sheets are the back side of the third paper.

  • The seventh and tenth sheets are the front side of the fourth paper, and the eighth and ninth sheets are the backside of the fourth paper.

 

Set up your printer so that it will print the front side of the paper and then the backside of each paper.

 

OR

 

Print the front side of the first paper. When it has finished printing, turn it over, and print the back side of the first paper. (Repeat for the remaining six sides of the remaining three papers.)

 

HINT: Since you are only printing on the top half of the paper, you can turn the paper around and use the bottom half of the paper to print the next signature of your book.
