Duplex printing1
The supplied printer drivers for Windows® 2000 or greater and Mac OS X 10.4.11 or greater all enable duplex 
printing. For more information about how to choose the settings, see the  Help text in the printer driver.
Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper1
If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
 If paper is curled, straighten it and put it back in the paper tray. If the paper continues to curl, replace the 
paper.
 If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it. If the paper 
continues to curl, replace the paper.
 When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality. 
(If there is a paper jam, see  Paper jams and how to clear them  on page 145. If you have a print quality 
problem, see  Improving the print quality  on page 159.)
Note
Make sure that the paper tray is completely inserted in the machine.
