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 manually or can be done auto-
matically with the duplex option installed and selected. For installing the
duplex, refer to “Installing the Duplex” on page 205.
