the odd numbered pages.
Cautions when Performing  
Double-Sided Printing
When performing double-sided printing, note the 
following points. 
❏ Use paper that supports double-sided printing. 
❏ Depending on the paper type and the print data, ink 
may seep through to the back side of the paper. 
❏ Double-sided printing is supported with the auto 
sheet feeder only. 
❏ Performing successive double-sided print jobs can 
soil the inside of the printer with ink. If the printed 
paper is soiled by ink on the roller, clean the printer.

You can save even more paper  by combining this printing 
method with printing multip le pages on a single page.

Poster Printing (Enlarge 
to cover several sheets
and print - Windows only)
The poster printing function automatically enlarges and 
divides the print data. You ca n join the printed sheets to 
create a large poster or ca lendar. Poster printing is 
available up to 16-fold (four sheets by four sheets) of
normal printing size. There are two ways to print 
posters. 
❏ Borderless poster printing 
This automatically enlarges and divides the print 
data and prints without margins. You can make a 
poster just by joining th e output paper together. To 
perform borderless printing, the data is expanded 
so that it extends slight ly over the paper size. 
Enlarged areas that exceed the paper are not
printed. Therefore, the image may misalign at the 
joins. To join the pages precisely, perform the 
following poster printing with margins.
❏ Poster printing with margins 
This automatically enlarges and divides the print 
data and prints with margins. You need to cut the 
margins and then join the output paper together to
make a poster. Although the final size is slightly 
smaller since you have to cut off the margins, the 
image joins fit precisely.
