The number of trays supported depends on each model.
When printing with the multi bypass tray, the printer board cannot
recognize the set paper direction, and therefore it regards that the
short side of paper would be set (vertical transport direction) to
make data.

(3) Tray selection

Paper handling is controlled on the copier side. The printer board
sends the Video I/F command to the digital copier according to the
computer direction of the tray.
(4) Duplex print operation B
The basic operation of duplex is described below.
Paper exit is made in face down. After printing an even number page,
the former odd number page is printed.

a. Tablet operation
Tablet means printing so that each page is aligned to be read
properly when binding the short edge of paper. Therefore, the
front page (odd number page) and the back page (even number
page) are in upside down each other. This reversion is mechani-
cally made, and the printer software needs no additional process.
b. Booklet operation
Booklet means printing so that each page is aligned to be read
properly when binding the long edge of paper. Therefore, the front
page (odd number page) and the back page (even number page)
are in the same direction. This paper is reversed mechanically,
and the printer software needs to rotate the paper 180 degrees.

Custom
Note: 1. Since duplex printing cannot be made for the special paper
(Custom) and Invoice, the computer's direction of Custom
or Duplex printing is ignored and simplex printing is made.
2. Since duplex printing cannot be made in the case of paper
feed from the multi bypass tray, the computer's direction to
the multi bypass tray to make duplex printing is ignored
and simplex printing is made.
3. Since printing order differs in simplex printing and duplex
printing, the insert surface differs in simplex and duplex in
the case where there is a difference between the front and
the back, for example, the letter head.
