Duplexing
Select paper with high opacity for duplex (double-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 (Double-sided) printing can be done automatically with the duplex
option installed and selected.
Note
Only plain paper, 60–90 g/m
2
(16–24 lb bond) can be autoduplexed. See
“Media Specifications” on page 42.
Duplexing envelopes, labels, transparencies, or glossy is not
supported.
How do I autoduplex?
You should verify that the duplex option is physically installed on the printer to
successfully duplex the job. 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.
The following Duplex/Booklet settings are available.
If “Short Edge Binding” is selected, the pages will be laid
out to flip at the top.
If “Long Edge Binding” is selected, the pages will be laid out
to flip at the sides.
