| Automatic two-sided printing
|
|
Automatically make two-sided prints using the paper trays or the manual-feed slot. In the Print dialog box, select the two-sided printing option and a binding preference (how the page turns).
To automatically make two-sided prints:
-
Do not place paper that was printed on one side back into the printer to print on the second side. Pre-printed pages may stick together.
-
Make sure the Paper/Transparency switch on the tray is set to
Paper.
-
Use only Letter- or A4-size paper.
-
When the printer operates in automatic two-sided printing mode, the paper partially exits before printing the second side. To avoid paper jams, do not touch the paper before it completely exits the printer.
Caution
Two-sided printing is supported only for Letter- and A4-size papers within the 16 - 32 lb. range. Make sure two-sided printing is off in the printer driver for all other paper types.
