Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page
• Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more information,
see
Understand specifications for supported media.
• Specify duplex options in your application or in the printer driver.
• Do not print on both sides of transparencies, envelopes, photo paper, glossy media,
or paper lighter than 60 g/m
2
bond (16 lb) or heavier than 105 g/m
2
bond (28 lb). Jams
might occur with these media types.
• Several kinds of media require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of
a page, such as letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and
prepunched holes. When you print from a computer running Windows, the device
prints the first side of the media first. When you print from a computer using Mac OS
X, the device prints the second side first.
