							About Duplex Printing 3-22
About Duplex Printing
Duplex (double-sided) printing can be performed when the duplex option has 
been installed on this machine.
For details on installing the duplex option, refer to “Duplex Option” on 
page 10-7.
If the paper has low opacity (high translucency), then the printed data from 
one side of the page will show through to the other side. Check your applica-
tion for margin information. For best results, print a small quantity to make 
sure the opacity is acceptable.
Note
Only Letter/A4 plain paper, 60–90 g/m2 (16–24 lb bond) can be 
autoduplexed. See “Print Media” on page 3-2.
Duplexing envelopes, labels, letterheads, postcards or thick stock 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 Binding” is selected, the pages will be laid 
out to flip at the top.
If “Long Edge Binding” is selected, the pages will be laid out 
to flip at the side.

aging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.
