Duplex Option278 Duplex Option Installing Options Changing Duplex Settings You can select duplex functions from the operator panel or from your software application if it supports duplex printing. If the software setting differs from the operator panel setting, the software setting overrides the panel setting. For example, if you select duplex printing from the operator panel, but the software specifies single-sided printing, the printer prints single-sided pages. When the Duplex Option is installed, the PAPER MENU includes the menu items Duplex and Duplex Bind. You can print duplex pages from any paper source except the envelope feeder. The following table lists settings for the duplex option. A brief description of each menu item follows. Duplex Set the Duplex menu item On to print on both sides of the paper. Set Duplex Off to print on one side only. Duplex Bind Duplex binding refers to the way pages are attached to form a book. Selecting the type of duplex binding determines how the printing on the back (even-numbered) pages of a print job is oriented in relation to the printing on the front (odd-numbered) pages.

Short edge binding means all pages are attached along the short edge of the page (the top edge of a portrait printed page and the left edge of a landscape printed page). For example, the pages in a stenographer’s pad are bound along the short edge. The following illustration shows short-edge binding for portrait and landscape pages.

Duplex Option280 Duplex Option Installing Options Selecting Paper The duplex option handles high-quality xerographic copier papers, office papers, and selected bond papers. For best results, use only non-recycled xerographic paper. You can use the same weight and type of paper with the duplex option as you use with the printer. You can use overhead transparencies or envelopes for single-sided printing when the duplex option is installed but not selected. See the table on page 125 and “Paper Size Specifications” on page 144 for more information on selecting paper. For information on duplex printing for letterhead or pre-printed materials, see page 150.
Installing Options Output Expanders Chapter Output Expanders281 Output Expanders 15 You can install up to three optional output expanders on an Optra S 2455 or Optra S 1855. They are mounted on top of the printer or ontopofeachother. Your printer may have up to five paper sources, so you may need more than just the printer standard bin to handle the output. See “Paper Exits (Output Bins)” on page 153 for an explanation of how many sheets each model can accommodate in the printer standard bin. Once one or more of the optional output expanders are attached to an Optra S 2455 or Optra S 1855, the printer can handle a higher output of print materials. Each output expander consists of the expander and a removable output expander tray. W ARNING:Do not use an output expander tray as a shelf to hold office items or books. Each output expander tray is designed to hold the weight of print material only. If more weight is placed on an output expander tray, it disengages from the output expander. The output expander tray or its contents may be damaged if it falls to the floor. Each optional output expander is packaged separately with its tray packed on top of the output expander. Carefully unpack the tray and the output expander. W ARNING:When you unpack an optional output expander, install it on the printer or another previously installed output expander immediately; otherwise, the mounting
