							Duplexing 73
Duplexing
Select paper with high opacity for duplex (double sided) printing. Opacity 
refers to how effectively paper blocks out what is written on the opposite side 
of the page. 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 application for margin information. For best results, print a small quantity 
to make sure the opacity is acceptable.
Duplex (Double sided) printing can be done automatically with the duplex 
option installed and selected.
Note
Only plain paper, 60–90 g/m2 (16–24 lb bond) can be autoduplexed. See 
“Media Specifications” on page 52.
Duplexing envelopes, labels, transparencies, or glossy is not 
supported.
How do I autoduplex?
You should verify that the duplex option is physically installed on the printer to 
successfully duplex the job.
Check your application to determine how to set your margins for duplex 
printing.
The following Binding Position settings are available.
If “Short Edge” is selected, the pages will be laid out to flip 
at the top.
If “Long Edge” is selected, the pages will be laid out to flip 
at the sides.

							Media Storage 75
Media Storage
How do I store media?
#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 media leaning against other objects or placing it in an upright posi-
tion.
Before using stored media, do a trial print and check print quality.
