Paper orientation for manual duplex printing
The printer prints the second page first.
If you print 10 pages on 5 sheets of paper, it will print page 2 and then page 1 on the first sheet of paper. It
will print page 4 and then page 3 on the second sheet of paper. It will print page 6 and then page 5 on the
third sheet of paper, and so on.
When doing manual duplex printing, the paper must be put in the paper tray in the following way:
For the paper tray:
Put the side to be printed on face down with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the front of the tray.
To print on the second side, put the paper face up, with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the front
of the tray.
If letterhead paper is used, put the paper in the tray with the heading face up at the front of the tray.
To print on the second side, put the heading face down at the front of the tray.
For the multi-purpose tray (MP tray):
Put the side to be printed on face up with the leading edge (top) of the paper in first.
To print on the second side, put the paper face down, with the leading edge (top) of the paper in first.
If letterhead paper is used, put it in with the heading face down and in first.
To print on the second side, put the heading face up and in first.
