Duplex Printing (Fs-C8008Dn) - Xerox FS-C8008DN Operation Manual

3.10.6 Duplex Printing (FS-C8008DN)

Note
The FS-C8008DN is equipped with the PD-800 duplex unit as a standard feature. The Paper
Handling menu on the operator panel provides you with activating the duplexer for printing
both sides of paper. You can also select the direction the duplex printed pages are bound —
short or long edge binding. See
Duplex printing is available for the following paper types:
Plain
Prepunched
Bond
Recycled
Rough
Letterhead
Color
Prepunched
Vellum
Activating the duplexer on the operator panel is done by selecting either short edge or long
edge binding mode.
Duplex printing can be also performed from the Multi-Purpose (MP) tray. When the MP
tray is set to First Mode ("First"), the paper size and paper type will be the same as those
of the paper cassette currently set at the paper feed source. If the paper to be fed from
the MP tray does not match the paper size and paper type of the current paper feed
source cassette, a paper jam may occur.
Binding Modes
Binding refers to the manner in which printed pages of paper are joined together (by gluing,
stitching, etc.) in book form. The two possible types of binding are: long-edge binding, in
which pages are joined together along their long edge; and short-edge binding, in which
they are joined together along their short edge. In selecting a binding type, you must also
consider the orientation of the printed page. You can use long-edge or short-edge binding
with either landscape or portrait printing.
Depending on the binding type and print orientation, the duplexer provides four types of
binding. These are: (1) portrait, long-edge, (2) portrait, short edge, (3) landscape, long-edge,
and (4) landscape, short-edge. The figure below shows these binding methods.
