Types of printing

If you are printing through webprint, you can choose to send the document in colour or mono, and as double or single-sided.

Single-sided printing

If you are not printing through webprint, all of our printers automatically print double-sided and need to be set to print single-sided:

  • Choose File, then Print. Click Print on both sides in the print preview and a new window will appear.
  • Four options will appear, select Print One Sided then continue printing as normal.

The settings will revert to double-sided automatically, so you will need to repeat this process with every document you want to print single-sided.

Print in colour

You will need to change the settings before you send the file to print:

  • Choose File, then Print. Click on Printer Properties in the print preview and a new window will appear.
  • Change the drop-down box in the bottom left-hand corner from Black and White to Colour. Click OK and continue printing as normal.

My document contains black and white and colour pages - will I be charged for colour for every page?

When you select colour print, you will be charged for colour printing for each page of your document, regardless of whether every page uses colour. Avoid being charged for colour for any black and white pages in your document by sending them separately.

Step 1: Identify your colour pages: Click your cursor on a colour page and then check the bottom left-hand corner to find out the page number. In the example below, you can see that the colour page is page 2 of 4. Make a note of which pages you need to print in colour.

Step 2: Send your colour pages: Click on 'File' and then 'Print' as you would do normally. In 'Settings' there is a text box called 'Pages:'. In the text box, type in the numbers of the pages you want to print in colour. There is a specific format to the pages you type in:

  • They must be written as numbers (1) not text (one)
  • Each page number must be separated from the next with a comma and a space
  • If you want to print a series of pages, for example every page between page 4 and page 10, you can write this as '4-10'.

In the example below, you can see that we are going to print pages 1, 3-4. Click print. Only the pages you have entered will be printed.

Step 3: Send your black and white pages: Using the same method as step two, enter the number of the pages you wish to be printed in black and white. Click 'Printer Properties', which will load a new window. Click on the drop-down box that says 'Colour/Black and White' and change this to 'Colour'. Click OK, and then continue printing as normal.

Step 4: Release your printing: When both print orders have been sent, print as normal. You can sort the printed pages back into the order you planned.
