Every time a user tries to print a multipage document, the user is unable to print on both sides of the page. Which of the following settings will most likely resolve this issue?
Correct Answer:
B
The correct answer is B. Duplex.
Duplex printing is the process of printing on both sides of a sheet of paper automatically or manually. Duplex printing can save paper, reduce clutter, and create professional-looking documents. To print on both sides of the paper, the printer must support duplex printing or the user must manually reinsert the pages to print the second side.
Orientation is the direction in which the paper is printed, either portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal). Orientation does not affect the ability to print on both sides of the paper.
Quality is the resolution or sharpness of the printed image, measured in dots per inch (dpi). Quality does not affect the ability to print on both sides of the paper.
Print tray is the part of the printer that holds and feeds the paper into the printer. Print tray does not affect the ability to print on both sides of the paper.
