Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page • Always use media that conforms to the printer specifications. For more information, seeMediaspecifications. • Specify two-sided printing options in your application or in the printer driver. • Do not print on both sides of transparencies, envelopes, photo paper, glossy media, or paper lighter than 16 lb bond (60 g/m 2) or heavier than 28 lb bond (105 g/m2). Jams might occur with these media types. (continued) Printer specifications163
• Several kinds of media require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page.These include letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and prepunched holes. When you print from a computer running Windows, the printer prints the first side of the media first. Load the media with the print side facing down. • For auto-duplexing, when printing finishes on one side of the media, the printer holds the media and pauses while the ink dries. Once the ink dries, the media is pulled back into the printer and the second side is printed. When printing is complete, the media is dropped onto the output tray. Do not grab it before printing is complete. • You can print on both sides of supported custom-sized media by turning the media over and feeding it into the printer again. For more information, see Mediaspecifications.
