Directions for Printing Flash Cards
Follow these directions to print your own set of flash cards:
For printers capable of double-sided printing:
Make sure that you have letter-sized paper (8½“ x 11”) in the printer tray. For more durable flash cards, use heavier paper or cardstock.
Select the 2-sided option from your “Print” dialogue box. Click “Print.”
For printers that print on only one side of the paper:
Make sure that you have letter-sized paper (8½“ x 11”) in the printer tray. For more durable flash cards, use heavier paper or cardstock.
In the “Print” dialogue box, locate the selection box for “Page Ranges.” Begin by printing the odd pages. Some printers will allow you to select “Print Odd Pages;” on others, you must enter the actual page numbers (1, 3, 5, etc.) separated by a comma in the field for “Pages:.” Click “Print.”
Once the odd pages print, place the paper back in the printer so that the blank side will now be printed on (this usually means placing the blank side face up, but all printers are different. You may need to experiment with your printer prior to printing these large files). Go back to the “Print“ dialogue box, and either select “Print Even Pages” or manually enter the actual page numbers (2, 4, 6, etc.) into the “Pages:” field. Click “Print.”
