This printer can automatically print double-sided (duplex) copies. When a double-sided print job is sent to the printer, the printer will print the second side (back side) and then print the first side (front side). During this process, the paper will partially exit the printer. To avoid media jams, wait until the paper has completely exited the printer before removing your paper from the output tray.
NOTE
The Plus and Extended printer configurations include automatic duplex printing. The Standard printer configuration does not support automatic duplex printing.
