Labels
Envelopes
Iron-on transfers
Extend dry time when duplexing print jobs
If ink is smeared on the bottom of the pages of your duplex print jobs, extend the time for the printed side to dry before the
duplex unit feeds the paper back into the printer, and prints on the other side.

c. Click Printers.
In Windows XP, click Start® Control Panel® Printers and Other Hardware® Printers and Faxes.
