    The printer I am using is a bizhubC754e. It is a commercial copier/printer. I did a 1 card that came out two-sided and in color, but  it printed the back image up side down

    There is no automatic way to assure the kind of size fidelity and back to front registration you need to set it up with multiple cards on a page. Somebody more advanced in the program would be able to set it up precisely but at the level that you sound like you are at it might really be better to print one card per page. I am giving you a link to an old thread about this and you might want to read Peter Spier's response and instructions. Setting up multiple cards with bleed on a single document  Remember though that this thread is not taking into account that your backs will need to register to your fronts.


    Thank you for all your help, Bill!

    Why are you printing an Indesign document through Acrobat? Why not just print it directly from InDesign? Other than that it is like the first two posts said it is a matter of whether the printer can actually print double-sided (duplex). Consult whatever documentation you can find about your printer. The printer manufacturers website should have a pdf that you can download with all of that information.

    What model is the printer? Can it actually print duplex?

      Are you talking about turning double-sided on for the printer? That is set by the printer drivers not Adobe. If you have a printer with the capability then you should see "Print on both sides of the paper". Can you better explain your issue? Maybe some screenshots would help.
