Manual duplex enables printing on both sides of a sheet by ordering the print job so that after
the first half of the print job has been printed, the job can be flipped over and fed from the
cassette for the second side printing. Manual Duplex is not available when settings are made
in the Advanced dialog box, accessed from the Media tab.
The steps for using Manual Duplex may vary, depending on your printer, what printer
accessories you have installed, and what application you are printing from.
The Print dialog boxes of some applications allow you to print just the odd or even pages so
that you can use manual duplex, as shown in the two examples below.
Adobe Framemaker
Adobe Acrobat
The Microsoft Word Print dialog box has a Manual Duplex checkbox, as show above. When
this option is selected, the odd pages are printed and then a message (shown below)
displays telling the user to flip the printed pages over and re-insert them in the input bin of the
printer.
