							About Duplex Printing 113
About Duplex Printing
Duplex (double-sided) printing can be done with this printer, which has the 
duplex unit built in as a standard. If the paper has low opacity (high translu-
cency), then the printed data from one side of the page will show through to 
the other side. Check your application for margin information. For best 
results, print a small quantity to make sure the opacity is acceptable.
Note
Only plain paper, 60–90 g/m2 (16–24 lb bond) can be autoduplexed. See 
“Specifications” on page 90.
Duplexing envelopes, labels, letterheads, postcards, thick stock, glossy 
media or transparencies is not supported.
How do I autoduplex?
Check your application to determine how to set your margins for duplex 
(double-sided) printing.
The following Binding Position settings are available.
If “Short Edge (Top)” is selected, the pages will be laid out 
to flip at the top.
If “Long Edge (Left)” is selected, the pages will be laid out 
to flip at the side.

Output Tray
All media is fed out facing down into the output tray on the left side of the 
machine. This tray has a capacity of approximately 250 sheets (A4/Letter) of 
80 g/m
2 paper.
If the media is stacked too high in the output tray, your machine may 
experience media misfeeds, excessive media curl, or static buildup. 
Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to 
avoid static buildup
The output tray can be pulled out to 
be extended. Adjust the output tray 
according to the size of paper to be 
printed on.
 
						

							Media Storage 116
Media Storage
„Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to
load it.
Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up 
too much and cause misfeeding.
„If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original pack-
aging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.
„Avoid moisture, excessive humidity, direct sunlight, excessive heat (above 
35°C [95°F]), and dust 
„Avoid leaning against other objects or placing it in an upright position.
Before using stored media, do a trial print and check print quality.
