CAUTION: If you have selected duplex printing and 
then try to print multiple copies of a document, the 
printer may not print the document in the way you 
want. In case of  Collated  copy , if your document has 
odd pages, the last page of the first copy and the first 
page of the next copy will be printed on the front and 
back of one sheet. In case of  Uncollated copy, the 
same page will be printed on the front and back of one 
sheet. Therefore, if you need multiple copies of a 
document and you want those copies on both sides of 
the paper, you must print them one at a time, as 
separate print jobs.
