In the top left menu under the Apple icon, go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners. The CP_Ricoh_Secure_Printing printer should have automatically been added to the list of printers by running the Pharos Popup Installer.

If it is not there, try repeating the steps above.

Set printer "Presets"

Once the printer CP_Ricoh_Secure_Printing is on the list, open ANY Document (for example a Microsoft Word document). In the top menu go to File > Print or use the keyboard shortcut "Command+P" A print dialog will appear. In the Print dialog, third dropdown menu from the top, select "Layout".

In "Layout" select "Two-Sided: Long-Edge binding".

In the same third dropdown menu select "Printer Features".

Every time you print, verify that the printer is using "Default B/W 2-Sided" as its Preset.
