2-sided (duplex) printing

	Some printer models are capable of duplex printing, or printing on
	both sides of a page. To find out which models support 2-sided
	printing, see Printer configurations.

Note	You must specify 2-sided printing options in your software application
	or in the printer driver in order to print on both sides of the page.

To use 2-sided printing:

zVerify that the printer driver is configured for 2-sided printing. (For instructions, see the online Help for the printer driver.)

zSelect the appropriate 2-sided printing options in the printer driver software. 2-sided printing options include page and binding orientation.

z2-sided printing is not supported for certain media types, including transparencies, labels, cardstock, and glossy film.

zFor best results, avoid 2-sided printing wtih rough-textured, heavy-weight media.

Control panel settings for 2-sided printing

Many software applications allow you to change 2-sided printing settings. If your software application or printer driver does not allow you to adjust 2-sided printing settings, you can adjust these settings through the control panel. The factory default setting is OFF.

CAUTION Do not use 2-sided printing when printing on labels. Serious damage may result.
