3.10.6 Duplex Printing (FS-8000CD)
The FS-8000CD is equipped with the PD-30 duplex unit as a standard feature. The Paper
Handling menu on the operator panel provides you with activating the duplexer for printing
both sides of paper. You can also select the direction the duplex printed pages are bound —
short or long edge binding. See Figure 3-14 below.
Duplex printing is available for the following paper types:
Plain
Prepunched
Recycled
Letterhead
Color
Prepunched
Vellum
Note
The procedure in this section will activate the duplexer as default. Even without
following this procedure, you can conveniently activate or deactivate duplex printing
using the printer driver.
Activating the duplexer on the operator panel is done by selecting either short edge or long
edge binding mode.
Caution
Duplex printing can be also performed from the Multi-Purpose (MP) tray. When the MP tray
is set to First Mode (“First”), the paper size and paper type will be the same as those of the
paper cassette currently set at the paper feed source. If the paper to be fed from the MP tray
does not match the paper size and paper type of the current paper feed source cassette, a
paper jam may occur.
Binding Modes
Binding refers to the manner in which printed pages of paper are joined together (by gluing,
stitching, etc.) in book form. The two possible types of binding are: long-edge binding, in
which pages are joined together along their long edge; and short-edge binding, in which they
are joined together along their short edge. In selecting a binding type, you must also consider
the orientation of the printed page. You can use long-edge or short-edge binding with either
landscape or portrait printing.
Depending on the binding type and print orientation, the duplexer provides four types of
binding. These are: (1) portrait, long-edge, (2) portrait, short edge, (3) landscape, long-edge,
and (4) landscape, short-edge. The figure below shows these binding methods.
