1-sided Printing and 2-sided Printing

You can select whether to print on one side or both sides of each sheet of paper.
The default setting for [Print Style] is [2-sided printing].

Paper Type	Paper Size
Plain paper (16.0 to 23.9 lb Bond (60 to 90 g/m²)) Heavy paper (24.0 lb Bond to 44.4 lb Cover (91 to 120 g/m²))	A4, Legal, Letter

IMPORTANT

Precautions when performing 2-sided printing

Do not touch the paper during 2-sided printing until it is completely output. The paper is first partially output after the front side is printed, and then it is fed again to be printed on the back side.

Be sure to close the output selection cover before performing 2-sided printing.

"Paper Loading and Output"

Printing on the back side of paper whose front side is already printed

This printer enables you to perform 2-sided printing by manually inserting the back side of the paper* whose front side was previously printed even if the paper cannot be used for 2-sided printing.

When printing on the back side of paper whose front side was previously printed, flatten out any curled paper and load one sheet of paper at a time in the multi-purpose tray.

*	This is only for paper that has been printed using this printer. Also, you cannot print again on the same side of the paper that was printed before.
*	If you are using A5 paper, the back side may not be printed correctly.

Set the paper size switch lever to the appropriate position according to the paper size for 2-sided printing.

If the lever is not set to the appropriate position, this may result in paper being misfed or paper jams.

1. Open the duplex unit cover.

2. Set the blue paper size switch lever (A) to the appropriate position.

A4:	Pull the lever toward you.
Letter or Legal:	Push the lever into the printer.

3. Close the duplex unit cover.
