2-Sided Copying

The 2-Sided mode enables you to make two-sided copies from one-sided or two-sided originals, or make one-sided copies from two-sided originals. Making two-sided copies enables you to cut print costs in half when copying in large quantities.
IMPORTANT
To use the 2 to 2-Sided and 2 to 1-Sided Copying modes with the imageRUNNER 2545/2535/2530/2525/2520, the optional Feeder (DADF-AA1/-AB1) is required.
Paper used to make two-sided copies must conform to the following specifications:
Paper size: A4, A4R, A3, A5R, B4, B5, or B5R
Paper type: Plain, Recycled, 3-hole punch paper (Only A4, A4R, LTR, or LTRR is available.), Color
Paper weight: 64 to 90 g/m2
NOTE
You can make 2 to 2-sided or 2 to 1-sided copies without the feeder if you place and turn the originals on the platen glass. Using the feeder, however, enables you to perform copying faster and easier using the 2 to 2-Sided or 2 to 1-Sided mode.

1 to 2-Sided

The 1 to 2-Sided mode enables you to make two-sided copies from one-sided originals.
IMPORTANT
The 1 to 2-Sided mode cannot be used with the 2-Page Separation mode.
Make sure to place originals with a horizontal (landscape) orientation, such as A4R, horizontally. If these originals are placed vertically, the back side of the original is copied upside down.
NOTE
If there is an odd number of originals, the back side of the last copy is left blank. (The machine’s counter does not count the blank page as one copy.)
If the 1 to 2-Sided mode is used with the Different Size Originals mode, the copies of differently sized originals will be printed as one-sided copies on paper of their respective sizes. If you want to make two-sided copies with differently sized originals, you must select the paper size beforehand. (Manual Paper Selection)
If the 1 to 2-Sided mode is used when the 2 on 1 mode in the Image Combination mode is set to ‘On’ for copying four-page originals, two pages of the original are printed on one side of the paper, and the other two pages are printed on the other side.

2 to 2-Sided

The 2 to 2-Sided mode automatically turns over two-sided originals placed in the feeder to copy both sides of the original on the front and back sides of the paper.
IMPORTANT
The 2 to 2-Sided mode cannot be used with the 2-Page Separation mode.
NOTE
Attaching the optional Feeder (DADF-AA1/-AB1) to the imageRUNNER 2545/2535/2530/2525/2520 enables you to perform copying faster and easier using the 2 to 2-Sided mode.

2 to 1-Sided

The 2 to 1-Sided mode automatically turns over two-sided originals placed in the feeder to make one-sided copies.
IMPORTANT
The 2 to 1-Sided mode cannot be used with the 2-Page Separation mode.
Make sure to place originals with a horizontal (landscape) orientation, such as A4R, horizontally. If these originals are placed vertically, the back side of the original is copied upside down.
NOTE
Attaching the optional Feeder (DADF-AA1/-AB1) to the imageRUNNER 2545/2535/2530/2525/2520 enables you to perform copying faster and easier using the 2 to 1-Sided mode.

Book to 2-Sided

The Book to 2-Sided mode enables you to make two-sided copies from facing pages, or from the front and back sides of pages in bound originals, such as books and magazines.
Left/Right 2-Sided
This setting enables you to make two-sided copies from facing pages.
Front/Back 2-Sided
This setting enables you to make two-sided copies from the front and back sides of a page.
IMPORTANT
The Book to 2-Sided mode cannot be used with the 2-Page Separation, Image Combination, Binding Erase, or Different Size Originals modes.
If you select ‘Front/Back 2-Sided’, the front side of the first two-sided page and the back side of the last two-sided page are left blank. (The machine’s counters do not count the blank pages as copies.)
Place your original on the platen glass. The Book to 2-Sided mode cannot be used when the original is placed in the feeder.
NOTE
You cannot select nonstandard paper that is loaded in the stack bypass.
