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.

Press

→ [Access Stored Files] → [Mail Box].

Select the desired Mail Box → select the desired file → press [Print].

Press [Change Print Settings].

Press [2-Sided Printing].

To change the paper source, see "Paper Selection."

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.

Press [Start Printing].
