■Duplex printing

Manual duplex printing is possible by using the multi- purpose tray. Automatic duplex printing is possible by installing the optional 2nd cassette feeder with ADU. However, you should not expect the same print quality and reliability that you get with single- sided printing. We strongly recommend that you follow the guidelines below.

Notes for manual duplex printing:

BDo not load more than 50 sheets in the multi- purpose tray.

BBefore loading paper in the multi-purpose tray, adjust it so that the edges of the media are lightly touching the media guides of the multi-purpose tray.

BUse multi-purpose tray for second side printing.

BWhen printing on the first side, avoid printing photograph or graphic in solid color to prevent paper jamming. It may cause a damage to the printer.
