Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper
Paper orientation for printing on both sides of the paper
The printer prints the second page first. If you print 10 pages on 5 sheets of paper, it will print page 2 
followed by page 1 on the first sheet of paper.
It will print page 4 followed by page 3 on the second sheet of paper. It will print page 6 followed by page 
5 on the third sheet of paper, and so on.
For duplex printing, you must put the paper in the paper tray in the following way:
Put the side to be printed on first, face down, with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the back of the 
tray. If letterhead paper is used, put it in the paper tray with the heading face up,
 and at the back of the 
tray.
■If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
■If paper is curled, straighten it and place it in the paper tray.
■If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it.
