Control panel settings for duplex printing
Many software applications allow you to change duplex printing
settings. If your software application or printer driver does not allow
you to adjust duplex printing settings, you can adjust these settings
through the control panel. Do not leave
DUPLEX set to ON if
transparencies or labels are used with the printer or serious damage
may result.
CAUTION Do not open the door to the rear output bin during duplex printing. Doing
so can cause jams or misprints.

print jobs. Whenever possible, change duplex settings through your
