menu.

Duplex Printing
You can print on both sides of the paper. Before printing in the duplex 
mode, decide on which edge you will be binding your finished document. 
The binding options are:
Long-edged binding: Which is the conventional layout used in book 
binding.
Short-edged binding: Which is the type often used with calendars. 
1From your Macintosh application, select  Print from the  File 
menu. 
2Select the  Layout. 
3Select a binding orientation from  Two-Sided option.
4Click Print and the printer prints on both sides of the paper. 
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 wa nt. In case of  Collated 
copy, if your document has od d 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 pr inted 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.
