The procedure is the same for single or fold over cards. Single cards are a
little more simple than foldover, but either is quite easy. One half is set
up for side one and the other half for side two. Run all the paper through
and reinsert it to print the reverse side. An easy way to see this is to
take a sheet of paper. Draw lines to divide the paper into sections. Do this
on both the front and back. On side 1, write down numbers, letters or
whatever in each box on the top half of the sheet only. This will be what
prints on side one of a business card. Do the same for the bottom half,
except use something different to represent what will be on the reverse side
of the card. Flip the paper over and do the same on that side so that if you
cut out a single card you would have side one and two printed. This will
also show you if one of the images should be rotated 180° from the other. In
the world of offset printing, this is a way to save money on plate making
costs since the same plate can be used for both sides. In the SOHO area,
cost of printing plates isn't an issue since you are using a laser or inkjet
printer, but it's sometimes easier to do it this way and it does help keep
file sizes down since the same page is being used to print both the front
and back of the cards. If you are still having trouble seeing how this is
done, send me a private email and I'll produce a sample setup that you can
try out.

I've now read your instructions and follow most of it but at the end I
came to the conclusion that you were dealing with a fold over business
cards. I may have misunderstood you.
I can't understand how on one sheet I can produce a card with both sides
used
