SIDES is a new program from Dilwyn Jones allowing double sided printing. It lets you print on both sides of a paper printout by first printing the odd numbered pages of a text file or basic listing, then pausing to let you reload the paper and finally printing the even numbered pages.
Depending on how paper reloading works on your printer, the even numbered pages may be printed in normal (ascending), or in reversed (descending page number), order. The program lets you specify top, bottom and left margin along with the number of lines per page. For emulators such as QPC2 the program has the facility to close the printer channel during the paper reversal pause, to work around the problem that QPC2 printing does not start until the print channel is closed. Sides is a program which needs Window Manager 2 and uses System Palette colours, so you either need a fairly recent SMSQ/E or a QDOS system with Pointer Environment version 2 or later. PE v2 is freely available from Wolfgang Lenerz's SMSQ/E registrar website, or from my own website. Sides is a Freeware program, available to download from www.dilwyn.uk6.net/printing/index.html -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
