Selecting the Print Side

Specify whether to print only on the front side of paper for 1-sided printing so that the odd pages are always printed on the front side for both 1-sided and 2-sided printing.
The print side for 1-sided printing varies depending on the setting specified. To use preprinted paper, read "Paper Loading Orientation" carefully to place the paper stack in the correct orientation.
IMPORTANT
Paper Size and Paper Type:
If you select unsupported paper size or paper type for 2-sided printing, the settings applied in this section will be invalid.
When <Print Speed Priority> is selected (the default setting):
All pages (odd and even) are printed on the back side for 1-sided printing while the odd pages are printed on the first side for 2-sided printing, as shown below.
Make sure to place the stack correctly to use preprinted paper, as the side to be placed face up varies between 1-sided and 2-sided printing.
Select this setting when
using paper types other than preprinted paper
using preprinted paper only for 1-sided printing
When <Print Side Priority> is selected:
All pages are printed on the first side for 1-sided printing so the odd pages are always printed on the first side for both 1-sided and 2-sided printing, as shown below.
The side to be placed face up is the same between 1-sided and 2-sided printing, even when using preprinted paper.
