Using the Operation Panel
2-80 ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE
Activating the duplexer is done by selecting either short edge or long edge
binding mode.
NOTE: Duplex printing can be also performed from the 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 Mode
The term 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 duplex unit
provides four types of binding setups. 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 setups.
To select duplex printing and binding setup from the operation panel,
proceed as follows.
