Page 95: About Duplex Printing
About Duplex Printing Duplex (double-sided) printing can be performed when the duplex option has been installed on this machine. For details on installing the duplex option, refer to “Duplex Option” on page 10-7. If the paper has low opacity (high translucency), then the printed data from one side of the page will show through to the other side.
Page 96 In addition, if “Combination” has been set to “Booklet”, autoduplex printing is performed. The following Order settings are available when “Booklet” is selected. If “Left Binding” is selected, the pages can be folded as a left-bound booklet. If “Right Binding” is selected, the pages can be folded as a right-bound booklet.
Page 97: Output Tray
Output Tray The printed media is fed out facing down into the output tray below the control panel. This tray has a capacity of approximately 100 sheets (A4/Letter) of 80 paper or equivalent. If the media is stacked too high in the output tray, your machine may experience media misfeeds, excessive media curl, or static buildup.
Page 98: Media Storage
Media Storage Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to load it. Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up too much and cause misfeeding. If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original pack- aging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.
