To reverse print on your Canon printer, which means printing the last page of your document first, you need to adjust the print order setting within the printer's preferences.
Here's how to do it, following the standard process for Canon printer drivers:
1. **Initiate the Print Command:** From the program you are using (like Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, etc.), select the command you use to perform printing. This is typically found under `File > Print`.
2. **Access Printer Preferences:** In the print dialog window that appears, select your Canon model name from the list of available printers. Then, click the button labeled `Preferences` or `Properties`. This opens the specific settings window for your printer.
3. **Navigate to Page Setup:** Look for the `Page Setup` tab within the printer preferences window and click on it. This tab contains options related to paper size, orientation, and layout, including print order.
4. **Specify the Print Order:** On the `Page Setup` tab, you will find an option to set the print order. Select the `Reverse order` or `Print from Last Page` option. This tells the printer to start printing from the final page of your document and work backward to the first page.
5. **Confirm Settings:** Click `OK` on the `Page Setup` tab, and then `OK` again on the main printer preferences window to apply these changes.
Now, when you click `Print` in your application, your document will be printed in reverse order, with the last page appearing first on the output tray.
## Why Use Reverse Printing?
Printing in reverse order is particularly useful if your printer outputs pages face-up. By printing the last page first, your document will be stacked in the correct order when printing is complete, saving you the step of manually rearranging the pages.
This process is a common feature in most Canon printer drivers and helps manage printed output more efficiently, especially for multi-page documents.
