Printing Art History Flashcards

Anya and Rohan are very naughty children. They are my cousins. And they are the cutest.

These are all Mac instructions, I have no idea if they'll work from a PC.

On regular paper:

Print on one of the library double-sided printers and make sure the duplex options are set to flip on the long side (I think that's the default). You should probably print a test page to make sure it's working before doing the whole thing. For cutting, I recommend finding a paper-cutter in a department office.

On card stock:

1. Buy card stock. The bookstore has some, back left corner by the envelopes and stuff. Get the Avery business cards 100 pack ($5.99), which should have the number 28371 in the upper righthand corner.

2. Get to a computer near a printer. Open the document and go to File -> Print. In the dropdown menu that says Copies & Pages go to Paper Feed and choose All pages from: Manual Feed. If you want, you can also go to Printer Features and choose PhotoGrade.

3. The quick way to do this would be going to Paper Handling and printing the odd pages first, then flipping the stack over (make sure page 1, with Dome of the Rock, is on the top, page 3 next, etc) and printing only the evens. But I haven't tried this and it may make the printer choke.You can also just do each sheet individually. You'll have to change the settings according to #2 each time you send the print command.

4. Put the card stock in the manual feed tray and click print. Don't worry about using one of the busy library printers, since everyone else's stuff will be printing from the Auto Select trays.

Definitly do a few practice sheets first to make sure everything's going right.


If you have any problems, contact me at ssidhu1. If this seems too complicated and you really want these flashcards, I could print them for you. But I'm pretty busy so it'll cost you $5 (plus $6 for card stock if you want em on that). If you get the St. Paul's reference, I'll make you a free set. On card stock. Happy studying!
