Duplexing
How do I print back-to-back (duplex)?
Select paper with high opacity for duplex (2-sided) printing. Opacity refers to
how effectively paper blocks out what is written on the opposite side of the
page. If the paper has low opacity (high translucency), then the printed data
from one side of the page will show through to the other side. Check your
application for margin information. For best results, print a small quantity to
make sure the opacity is acceptable.
Duplex (2-sided) printing can be done manually or can be done automatically
with the duplex option installed and selected.
Attention
Only plain paper, 16–24 lb (60–90 g/m

How do I autoduplex?
Verify that the duplex option is installed on the printer, and check your
application to determine how to set your margins for duplex
printing.
