Select Simplex/duplex mode (DX type only)
You can change between simplex and duplex mode using software com-
mands in any emulation mode. The command to do this is:
<ESC> [ D n
where n is an ASCII value of either “1” or “2”. If n is set to “l”, then the
printer will enter simplex mode, and if n is “2”, the printer will enter duplex
mode.
If the printer is in simplex mode, the “1”option will have no effect. If the “2”
option is chosen while the printer is in duplex mode, it is only valid if then
face-down output stack has been selected. The page containing this com-
mand will become the face of the double-sided page.
If the printer is in duplex mode, the “1” option will force single-sided
printing, commencing with the page containing this command. If the printer
is already in duplex mode, the page containing this command will bc forced
to be the fact of the next double-sided page.
The DUPLEX light on the front panel will indicate the current simplex/
duplex status of the printer following receipt of this command.
