Select the type of finishing → press [OK].

If [Mail Box] is selected in step 1, you can select one of the following types of two-sided printing.

[Book Type]:The front and back sides of the print have the same top-bottom orientation.

[Calendar Type]:The front and back sides of the print have opposite top-bottom orientations.

If [Network] or [Memory Media] is selected in step 1, you can select one of the following types of two-sided printing.

[Long Edge]:	Uses the long edge of the paper as the binding location for the back and front sides.
[Short Edge]:	Uses the short edge of the paper as the binding location for the back and front sides.

Press [Start Printing].

IMPORTANT
For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Unavailable Combination of Functions." You may not be able to print, depending on the paper type.

NOTE
Paper used to make two-sided prints must conform to the following specifications: Paper size: Custom Size (5 1/2" x 7 1/8" to 12 x 18" (139.7 mm x 182 mm to 304.8 mm x 457.2 mm)), 305 x 457 mm, A3, A4, A4R, A5R, 12" x 18", 11" x 17", LGL, LTR, LTRR, STMTR, EXEC (envelopes cannot be used for two-sided printing) Paper weight: 14 lb bond to 80 lb cover (52 to 220 g/m2) If there are an odd number of pages in the file, the back side of the last print is left blank. (The machine's counter does not count the blank page as a print.) If you select a PDF file together with the Auto Select Paper mode, and the pages that you want to print are of different sizes, the pages are printed as one-sided prints on paper of their respective sizes. If you want such pages to be printed as two-sided documents, select the correct paper sizes in advance.
