CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS
2.10.5 DUPLEX PRINTING
NOTE: Duplex printing requires installation of the memory option
Duplex printing is available with all output bin options but not all paper sizes (refer
to the specifications section). If a job specifies duplex but the paper size to be used
is not usable in the duplex unit, the job will be printed single-sided.
Duplex printing is available in two binding methods: short-edge binding and long-
edge binding.
In short-edge binding, when printing the second side of a page, the image may
require rotation. The image is rotated by the ASIC (Rocky-R) in the printer
controller.
The ASIC (Rocky-R) corrects the image printing order for duplexing as follows.
• Larger than A4 lengthwise/LT lengthwise (example 8 pages)
2nd page - 1st page - 4th page - 3rd page - 6th page - 5th page - 8th page - 7th
page
• Up to A4 lengthwise/LT lengthwise (example 8 pages)
2nd page - 4th page - 1st page - 6th page - 3rd page - 8th page - 5th page - 7th
page
2.10.6 STAPLING
Stapling is only available when the 1000-sheet finisher is installed.
The finishers have the following stapling positions.
1) Upper left, diagonal
2) Upper right, diagonal
Depending on the paper orientation, the image may have to be rotated. This image
rotation is done by the ASIC (Rocky-R) in the printer controller.
There is a limit for the number of sheets that can be stapled. If a job that specifies
stapling has more than this number of sheets, it will not be stapled.
