This section includes:
• Automatic 2-Sided Printing Guidelines on page 87
• Binding Edge Options on page 87
• Automatic 2-Sided Printing on page 88
• Manual 2-Sided Printing on page 88
Note: Automatic 2-sided printing is available for the Phaser 6140/DN printer configuration.
Manual 2-sided printing using Tray 1 is available for both Phaser 6140 configurations, but only
using the PCL 6 printer driver (Windows only). For details, see Performing Manual 2-sided Printing
from Tray 1 on page 88. However, you can use the manual feed slot to print double-sided pages
one sheet at a time using the PostScript driver. For details, see Performing Manual 2-sided Printing
from the Manual Feed Slot on page 89.
Automatic 2-Sided Printing Guidelines
Before printing a 2-sided document, verify that the paper is a supported size for the tray. For a list of
supported sizes, see Supported Paper and Media on page 50.
Do not use the following media for automatic 2-sided printing:
• Transparencies
•Envelopes
•Labels
• Any die-cut specialty media, such as business cards
•Card stock
Binding Edge Options
When you use the printer driver to select 2-sided printing, you also select the binding edge. The binding
edge determines how the pages turn. The actual outcome depends on the orientation (portrait or
landscape) of images on the page, as shown in the following illustrations.
