Two-sided printing (Duplex printing)
Two-sided printing is possible by using the multi-purpose tray. However,
you should not expect the same print quality and reliability that you get with
one-sided printing. We strongly recommend that you follow the guidelines
below.
•
Do not load more than 50 sheets in the multi-purpose tray.
•
Before loading paper in the multi-purpose tray, adjust it so that the edges of
the media are lightly touching the media guides of the multi-purpose tray.
•
Use heavier paper, at least 95 to 165 g/m
feed. Do not load a thin sheet of paper in the multi-purpose tray. It
may cause a paper jam.
•
It is strongly suggested to use color laser bond paper.
•
Duplex printing on certain types of paper may shorten the life of some
components in the printer.
•
Use multi-purpose tray for second side printing.
•
When printing on the first page, avoid printing photograph or graphic
in solid color to prevent paper jamming. It may cause a damage to the
printer. For increased reliability print the page with the least amount of
toner coverage first. (See below.)
•
Before printing on the first side, set the unprintable area [at least 15
mm (0.59") in length] on the top of paper. (See below.)

When printing on the

recommended that the
sizes of photograph and
graphic printed on the
page are as small as
possible.
