The Page tab, located on the Page Setup dialog, allows you to set options for the page including page size and orientation, which paper tray of the printer to use during printing (if tray options are available), and whether or not to use printing effects. On this tab, you can additionally specify if there is a different design that needs to print on the back of the page and how the back page should be printed relative to the front, and whether or not you will use a page template to enhance your page.

-

Effects
Note that not all effects are supported by all printers. This area of the Page tab is visible only if your selected printer supports at least one of the effects, and only the effect(s) supported will be available.
-
Mirror Image. Prints a mirror image of a template, where the left and right margins are swapped. To swap the top and bottom margins, combine Mirror Image with Landscape orientation.
-
Negative. Reverses the pixels that are printed, so printed text and barcodes become white on a black background.
Template Design Options
-
Separate designs for front and back of item template. When enabled, allows you to create two separate designs for your document. When printing two-sided items, this allows you to print one design on the front side and another design on the back side.
-
Rotate back side of item template 180. When enabled, specifies that your two-sided item will print with the top edge of the item's front side aligning with the bottom edge of the item's back side. When this option is not checked, two-sided items are printed with the top edge of the item's front side aligning with the top edge of the item's back side. Not available on all printers.
-
Enable Page Template. When enabled, allows you to create a Page Template on which you can place objects anywhere on the page, including in the margins. Enabling a page template adds a Page Template tab to the bottom of the design area, alongside your existing template tab(s) and the data entry form. If Separate designs for front and back of item template is also enabled, you can design a separate page template for each side of the item.
