====================================
What about the case where the manual is only delivered
as a computer file, and the user prints out all or
part of the double-sided manual as a single-sided
document on local printer? Now a typical dimwit reader
will become confused about what it means. The addition
of "For Double-Sided Printing" adds an unnecessary
confusion factor which adds nothing to the intended
meaning, regardless of whether the manual is printed
single- or double-sided.
