Two-Sided Printing

This mode enables you to print two successive pages of a stored file, on both sides of a sheet of paper.
As an example, the procedure for printing files that are stored in a Mail Box is explained in this section.
1.
Press (Main Menu) → [Access Stored Files] → [Mail Box].
2.
Select the desired Mail Box → select the desired file → press [Print].
3.
Press [Change Print Settings].
4.
Press [2-Sided Printing].
To change the paper source, see "Paper Selection."
5.
Select the type of finishing → press [OK].
[Book Type]:
The front and back sides of the print will have the same top-bottom orientation.
[Calendar Type]:
The front and back sides of the print will have opposite top-bottom orientations.
If you want to print the first page of each file on the front when files are merged and the Finishing mode is selected (except for [Group (Same Pages)]), press [Print 1st Page on Front].
If you want to print continuously without inserting any blank pages between the files, press [Always Print 2-Sided].
If [Memory Media] is selected in step 1, you can select one of the following types of two-sided print.
Details of each item are shown below.
[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.
6.
Press [Start Printing].

You may not be able to print, depending on the paper type.
