 drop-down list.

To print a border around each page on the sheet, select the option you want from the 
Border drop-down list.
5Click Print, and the printer prints the selected number of pages on one side of each page.
Duplex Printing
You can print on both sides of the paper. Before printing in the duplex mode, decide on which 
edge you will be binding your finished document. The binding options are:
Long-Edge Binding: Conventional layout used in book binding.
Short-Edge Binding: Type often used with calendars.
 CAUTION: If you have selected duplex printing and then try to print multiple copies of a 
document, the printer may not print the document in the way you want. In case of “Collated copy”, 
if your document has odd pages, the last page of the first copy and the first page of the next copy 
will be printed on the front and back of one sheet. In case of “Uncollated copy”, the same page 
will be printed on the front and back of one sheet. Therefore, if you need multiple copies of a 
document and you want those copies on both sides of the paper, you must print them one at a time, 
as separate print jobs.

Getting Started
The supplied Software and Documentation CD provides you with Dells MFP driver package for 
using your printer with a Linux computer.
Dells MFP driver package contains printer and scanner drivers, providing the ability to print 
documents and scan images. The package also delivers powerful applications for configuring 
your printer and further processing of the scanned documents.
After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver package enables you to monitor a 
number of MFP devices via USB port. The acquired documents can then be edited, printed on 
the same local MFP or network printers, sent by e-mail, uploaded to an FTP site, or transferred 
to an external OCR system.
The MFP driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible installation program. You do not 
need to search for additional components that might be necessary for the MFP software: all 
required packages will be carried onto your system and installed automatically; this is possible 
on a wide set of the most popular Linux clones.
