    Paper orientation for manual duplex printing
    The printer prints the second page first.
    If you print 10 pages on 5 sheets of paper, it will print page 2 then page 1 on the first sheet of paper.
    It will print page 4 then page 3 on the second sheet of paper.
    It will print page 6 then page 5 on the third sheet of paper, and so on.
    When doing manual duplex printing, the paper must be put in the paper tray in the following way:
    ■For the manual feed tray or the multi-purpose (MP) tray:
    Put the side to be printed on first, face-up, with the leading edge (top) of the paper in first.
    To print the second side, put the paper face down, with the leading edge (top) of the paper in first.
    If letterhead paper is used, this would be put in with the heading face down, and in first.
    To print the second side, put the heading face up and in first.
    ■For the upper paper tray and the optional lower tray (tray1 or tray2):
    Put the side to be printed on first, face down, with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the front of 
    the tray.
    To print the second side, put the paper face up, with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the front 
    of the tray.
    If letterhead paper is used, this would be put in the paper tray with the heading face up, and at the 
    front of the tray.
    To print the second page, put the heading face down and at the front of the tray.
    For Thicker paper that has curled once the first side has been printed on, and you cannot feed the 
    paper for the second time from manual feed tray or MP tray to allow the other side of the paper to 
    be printed on:
    At the back of the printer, open the face-up output tray and push down the blue tabs on the left and 
    right hand sides (as shown in the figure below). When you have finished printing, close the face-up 
    output tray to reset the two blue tabs back to their original position.
