Why does my printer print backwards so I have to rearrange all the papers after it is done printing?

Question

Does it do this to just piss me off? I know I can reset it differently, but why does it do it as a default in the first place?

Answer 1

Open control panel
Double-click on "Printers and faxes"
right-click on your printer and select "printing preferences"
click on the "layout" tab
In the lower-right hand corener there should be an option that says "start printing from last page." If it's on, turn it off; if it's off, turn it on.
Click OK.
Profit.

Answer 2

Hi, when you want to print a doc w/ several pages,
the print window comes up and on the "Print Range" section
clicking the "reverse pages" box.
It will print the last page first and the first, last.
Another way is to go to the printer options and
select the dialog where is says "print in reverse order".
Note that if you use both, they cancel each other.
Hope this help.

Answer 3

because it prints top to bottom as a default. so printing the top page first =1234
in that order,
if you change the settings to collate (however you spell it)
it prints like this= 4321
so they're in order.
so the reason it prints backwards is becuase its printing top to bottom.
which makes sense if you just want the top part of a webpage or something, you dont want it to start at the bottom right?

Answer 4

Check your printer properties or preferences -- i think you have the box checked requesting the printer to print in reverse order.

Answer 5

It's doing it in order, but since it does the first page first, it ends up on the bottom of the stack. Someone mentioned checking the settings. You might want to do that....

Answer 6

Some printers just are designed to work that way.

Answer 7

Go into your printer options and check off collate.

Answer 8

Its just the factory default. Set it in your preference and click save then you wont have to worry about it anymore.

Answer 9
