MF743Cdw booklet prints in reverse order

Booklets print in reverse order; another way to describe it is upside down. Rotating the pages 180 degrees before printing results in the proper order right side up; easy enough to do with PDF documents but no so in some other formats. I can't seem to find any setting in Printer Properties that are applicable. What am I missing?

Thanks for responding. I was printing out of Nitro Pro 9 on a Win7 machine. After seeing your reply I tried it on a Win11 machine using PDFxchange, and booklet printing worked as is should. I went back to the Win7 machine and tried it on Nitro Pro 9 again and this time it worked. Nitro Pro has limited options available in its native print window; you have to go to Printer Properties to select Booklet. PDFxchange has more options available in its print window, including Booklet.

I am now not able to replicate the reverse printing. I don't believe I changed something in Nitro Pro - I've used that program for years and I'm pretty familiar with its printing functions. Perhaps printing from PDFxchange set up something in the printer but I don't know what that could be.
