Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper
If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
If paper is curled, straighten 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 96. If you have a print quality
problem, see Improving the print quality on page 105.
Manual duplex printing
The BR-Script printer driver (PostScript
®
3™ emulation) does not support manual duplex printing.
Use plain paper or recycled paper. Do not use bond paper.
Manual duplex printing from the paper tray
a In the printer driver choose the Advanced tab, then choose the Manual Duplex printing mode, and from
the Basic tab choose the Paper Source to be Tray1.

the side to be printed on (blank side) face down. Follow the instructions on the PC screen.
