3.10.7 Duplex Printing
Using the optional duplexer (DU-300), you can automatically print on both sides of the
paper. The duplexer is mounted underneath the printer.
Duplex printing is available for the following paper types:
Plain
Preprinted
Bond
Recycled
Rough
Letterhead
Color
Prepunched
High quality
Activating the duplexer on the operator panel is done by selecting either short edge or long
edge binding mode.
Binding Modes
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 duplexer provides four types of
binding. 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 methods.

• To use this function, the optional duplexer must be installed on the
printer.
• 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.
