when Paper Size is set to: Letter, Legal, or A4. The default for both of these controls is
off.
The Flip Pages Up checkbox, visible only when the Print on Both Sides is visible, is used
to specify the duplex-binding option. The following table demonstrates the results of
selecting this box, depending on the orientation of paper.

The preview image will show a spiral binding along either the left or the top edge of the
page to indicate the edge of the document across which the pages is flipped when Print
