For MOST Laser Printers

(Most LASER printers feed printed pages out of the printer with the printed page DOWN--reversed from the way they print in most inkjet printers.  BOTH types of printers use the same Calendar_1 file, but the sequence of pages in the Calendar_2 file is REVERSED for proper printing order.  IF YOUR LASER PRINTER feeds the printed pages out face UP, use the same files that you would use for an INKJET PRINTER.)

Paper feeds from a bottom tray, AND
Printed pages come out FACE DOWN.

STEP 1:
Print the file Calendar_1 after downloading.  The first page printed will be our print orientation page (the one with the arrow), which will come out FACE DOWN followed by the remainder of the pages for the calendar.  DO NOT remove the pages until all have printed so as not to accidentally disturb their order.  When printing is completed for the first file, take note of the direction the arrow is pointing when it comes out of the printer.

• If the arrow is pointing AWAY from the printer (as seen in the diagram above), proceed to STEP 2.  

• If the arrow is pointing back INTO the printer (opposite what you see in the diagram), proceed to STEP 2-B.

 

STEP 2:
Remove the stack of printed pages from the tray, rotate it 90 degrees so that the orientation arrow is pointing TOWARDS the printer.  REMOVE THE ORIENTATION PAGE WITH THE ARROW, then print the file Calendar_2.  When printing is done, your calendar will be not only printed, but collated with the pages in proper order--ready to be bound.

STEP 2-B: If for some reason when you print Calendar_1 the orientation arrow is pointing the opposite direction from the view seen in STEP 1 above, simply reverse the process as shown at the right..
