Duplex Printing Comes out Upside Down

[SCon777]

I am using INDesign 2.0 and am trying to print to a Sharp AR335 with Duplex printing...I am printing on Ledger paper...everything prints fine, except the back side of the double sided pages is printed upside down? I can actually turn those pages 180 degrees (upside down) before printing and it prints fine...how can I avoid having to rotate these pages before printing each time?
Any Help would be appreciated....

My technical terms may be a bit off, but I think this is what you want.
When you choose "Print" and Indesign's print dialogue comes up....choose "Setup" (down on the bottom row)- A warning box comes up....click OK!
When you come to the printer dialog box there may be a tab for "Layout". Go there and see if there is a choice of "Duplex - turn page vertically" or "Duplex - turn the page horizontally". Choose horizontally.

I am using a Brother HL-1850. The dialogue boxes will probably be a bit different for your printer.
Good luck!

My Canon at work has duplex printing as well. You might check and see in some of the print option menus if there is an option for "Long Edge Binding" or "Short Edge Binding." This is usually the case for me if it prints the back side upside down. On a Letter sheet in Portrait mode choose long-edge binding. On landscape mode, choose short-edge binding.

Hope that helps!

Yes, it would defietly be something in the print menu, it may be flipping on the "short side" or the "long side" sounds like its fliping on the long. But I would definetly look at it.
