Using the duplex function
Duplex printing (or two-sided printing) lets you print on both sides of a sheet of paper. For paper sizes
that are acceptable for duplex printing, see
Note: Print duplex jobs only on paper weighing 16–24 lb.
Select Duplex from your printer driver to print individual duplex jobs, or from the Local Printer Setup
Utility to duplex all print jobs. See
W :
As the printer processes a duplex print job, it partially ejects a sheet to the standard
ARNING
output bin, and then pulls the sheet back inside. Do not touch the sheet while it is
partially ejected. Doing so could damage the printer or cause a jam. Remove pages
only after they have fully exited the printer to a bin.
For more information on bins, see

Duplex printing on letterhead

When duplex printing on letterhead from the multipurpose feeder, load it with the logo face down and
entering the printer last.
When duplex printing on letterhead from the trays, load it with the logo face up and facing toward the
rear of the printer.

Using Duplex Bind

When you select duplex bind printing in the printer driver or Duplex Bind in the Finishing Settings in the
Local Printer Setup Utility you must select either long edge or short edge binding which are the values
for this setting. The purpose of Duplex Bind is to define the way duplexed pages are bound, and how
the printing on the back of the sheet (even-numbered pages) is oriented in relation to the printing on
the front (odd-numbered pages).
