Duplex printing 2
The supplied printer drivers for Windows
®
2000 or greater and Mac OS X 10.3.9 or greater all enable duplex
printing. For more information about how to choose the settings, see the Help text in the printer driver.
Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper 2
If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
If paper is curled, flatten it, and then put it back in the paper tray or the MP tray.
If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it.
When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality.
(If there is a paper jam, see Paper jams and how to clear them on page 120. If you have a print quality
problem, see Improving the print quality on page 129.)
