Double-sided printing is now the default setting for the black and white e-token printers in the Business Library. The color e-token printer will still default to single-sided printing.
To print single-sided, in most cases, you can go to the "File" menu, select "Print", then in the pull down menu that allows you to select a printing option select "Single Sided E-Token". If you are printing from Adobe or another PDF reader click on the print button in the reader and then select "Single Sided E-Token."
