Printing on both sides of the paper (duplexing) automatically

The printer has a built-in duplex unit that lets you print on both sides of the paper automatically.
Note: Automatic two-sided printing (duplexing) works only with plain paper in letter and A4 sizes. If you want to
print two-sided documents on another type or size of paper, use the manual duplexing method.

on both sides of the paper. The Automatic 2-Sided Printing option affords enough time for the ink to dry on
supported paper types in average air humidity. Under conditions of high humidity, or if the normal drying time
does not allow the ink to dry completely, you should select Extend dry time.
