[Tex/LaTex] Margins on two-sided documents using LyX

double-sidedlyxmargins

I have an issue trying to set my margins on LyX.
I am using a two-sided document, the box for this option is checked.
I've set the value of inner margins (4cm) and outer margins (2cm), but on my Pdf I always have my 4 cm margin on the left and the 2cm one on the right…

Any Idea?

Thank you!

enter image description here

Menu Document ⇢ Configuration ⇢Documment class ⇢ Option class ⇢ Write here the twoside option, so after fix the margins, the LaTeX source show something like this: 

\documentclass[twocolumn,english,twoside]{article}
...
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,lmargin=4cm,rmargin=2cm}

Then add some content and voilá.

If you want reproduce this minimal working example (MWE), it is a default document (article) with an ERT box (Ctrl+L) with \lipsum[1-50] to make the dummy text. This need the package lipsum: Document ⇢ Configuration ⇢LaTeX preamble ⇢ Write \usepackage{lipsum}. So this simple document:

will produce this LaTeX source:

%% LyX 2.1.2 created this file.  For more info, see ttp://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[twocolumn,english,twoside]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,lmargin=4cm,rmargin=2cm}

\begin{document}
