Linking Trays; Using The Duplex Function; Using Duplex Bind - Dell 5100cn Color Laser Printer User Manual

Do not place objects on the multipurpose feeder. Also, avoid pressing down or applying excessive force on it.
Do not remove any tray while a job is printing from the multipurpose feeder or Printing is displayed on the
operator panel. This may result in a paper jam.
The icons on the multipurpose feeder identify how to load the multipurpose feeder with paper, and how to turn an
envelope for printing.

Linking Trays

Tray linking allows you to load the same size and type of print media in multiple sources. The printer automatically links
the source/trays and will use the first tray until it runs out, then switch to the linked tray.
If you load the same size print media in each tray, make sure the print media is the same type in order to link the trays.
When the selected trays are loaded with the same size and type of print media, select the Paper Type settings in the
Tray Settings for each source.
To disable tray linking, set the Paper Type to a unique value in each one of the trays. If all trays do not have the same
type of print media when linked, you could mistakenly print a job on the wrong paper type.

Using the Duplex Function

Duplex printing (or two-sided printing) allows you to print on both sides of a sheet of paper. For sizes that are acceptable
for duplex printing, see

Using Duplex Bind

When using duplex bind printing in the printer driver, you must select either Flip on Short Edge or Flip on Long Edge.
Binding in the Duplex menu item defines the way duplexed pages are bound, and how the printing on the back of the
sheet (even-numbered pages) is oriented in relation to the printing on the front (odd-numbered pages).
The two values for Binding are:
Long Assumes binding along the long edge of the page (left edge for portrait orientation and top edge for landscape
Edge orientation). The following illustration shows long-edge binding for portrait and landscape pages:
