Printing on both sides of the paper
The EPSON Stylus COLOR 980 allows double-sided printing.
There are two types of double-sided printing available. Standard
double-sided printing allows you to print the odd-numbered
pages first. Once these are printed, you can reload the printouts
in the sheet feeder and print the even-numbered pages on the
other side of the paper. Folded Booklet double-sided printing
allows you to make single-fold booklets. Refer to the appropriate
section below.
Note:
❏ Double-sided printing via a network is possible when the EPSON
high-speed port is set to ON in EpsonNet Direct Print Version 2 or
higher, running on the server. For details, please refer to the Readme
file on the Printer software CD-ROM.
❏ You can load up to 30 sheets of paper at one time when double-sided
printing; however, the loading capacity of the sheet feeder varies,
depending on the media type.
❏ Only use media types which are suitable for double-sided printing.
Otherwise, the printout quality may deteriorate.
❏ Depending on the type of paper and the amount of ink used to print
text and images, ink may bleed through to the other side of the paper.
