 If you select Manually Print on Both Sides, you will be prompted to turn the papers over yourself and feed them back into the printer in order to print on both sides. 
If Print on Both Sides is an option, it means that your printer is capable of automatic double-sided printing.

IF printing on both sides is not an option, consult with I.T. to make sure the printer is working correctly or that the function is turned on.
