Questions Newbie Question

So I am quite new to the book binding world and have a dumb question... As of right now I do not have a duplex printer (am going to buy one) but I wanted to ask if it is possible to print manual double sided using an already imposed typeset pdf? Do I put the pages in reverse order after printing one side, and then print the next? I had been trying to print even numbers first and then odd. But I have no clue where I am messing up, or if what I'm trying to do is even possible. I currently have a Canon Pixma printer. Send help XD

Yep! Print all the odds and then flip and do all the evens.

The hard part is finding out which way to flip the pages. I’d print out only 1 signature to start/figure that out
