Two-Sided Copying

This mode enables you to make two-sided copies from one-sided or two-sided originals, or make one-sided copies from two-sided originals.

IMPORTANT
When making two-sided copies from one-sided originals or one-sided copies from two-sided originals, make sure to place your originals correctly. Place originals with a horizontal (landscape) orientation such as LTRR and STMTR horizontally. If these originals are placed vertically, the back side of the copy is printed upside down. Only LTR paper can be used for the Book to 2-Sided mode. Place your originals on the platen glass when using the Book to 2-Sided mode. The Book to 2-Sided mode cannot be used when the original is placed in the feeder.
