Printing on both sides of the paper (duplex printing)

Printing on both sides of the paper (duplex printing)

Printing on both sides of the paper reduces printing costs.

You can use the 250-sheet tray or the 550-sheet drawer to print a duplex job.

Note: The duplex unit only supports certain sizes and types of print media. Only A4, letter, legal and folio size paper can be used for duplex printing. The printer does not support duplex printing on any other type of print media.

Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. Use the following table for help when loading letterhead in the media sources for duplex printing.
