2.8 Using Duplex Printing

The manual feed functionality of the DEClaser 2100 printer allows you to do duplex (two-sided) printing. Since the paper must pass through the printer twice to perform two-sided printing, consider these additional cautions when making duplex prints.

Do not use transparencies, labels, or envelopes when making duplex prints; use paper only.

A curl in the leading edge of the paper may cause the paper to wrinkle, misprint, or jam. Flatten out any curl on the paper before making a duplex print. If the curl cannot be flattened completely, place the paper so the curl faces up in the feeding direction, as shown below. The paper, however, should not curl more than 5 mm (0.2").

If you have made numerous duplex prints, you should make several test prints before continuing to use the printer (see Section 2.13). Running the test prints removes any excess toner clinging to the fixing assembly rollers.
