                  What is Reverse Pages Option:

                            It reverses the page order form last to first ie: if you are printing a 10 pages document  it changes the printing order to 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.

                  What we are doing in case of Odd numbered pages document.

                  • Here, first we are printing all the odd pages ( ie.1,3,5,7,9....81 ). Now the order of printed papers in printers output tray is ( 81,79,77,75,73,....1 ).
                  • So we can’t print the next even pages directly on backside, we need to reverse the even pages printing order.
                  • In the second step we are printing all the even pages in reverse order ie:( 80,78,76,74,72,...2 ).
