Duplexing
Select paper with high opacity for duplex (2-sided) printing. Opacity refers to
how effectively paper blocks out what is written on the opposite side of the
page. If the paper has low opacity (high translucency), then the printed data
from one side of the page will show through to the other side. Check your
application for margin information. For best results, print a small quantity to
make sure the opacity is acceptable.
Duplex (2-sided) printing can be done manually or can be done automatically
with the duplex option installed and selected.
Note
Only plain paper, 60–90 g/m
2
(16–24 lb) can be autoduplexed. See
“Media Specifications” on page 32 for supported sizes.
Duplexing envelopes, labels, postcards, thick stock, or transparencies
is not supported.
How do I autoduplex?
You should verify that the duplex option is physically installed on the printer to
have the job duplex successfully. If the duplex option is not installed and
duplex job is sent, the control panel will display
DUPLEX UNIT NOT
ATTACHED

Check your application to determine how to set your margins for duplex
printing.
