Paper orientation for manual duplex printing

The printer prints the second page first.

If you print 10 pages on 5 sheets of paper, it will print page 2 and then page 1 on the first sheet of paper. It

will print page 4 and then page 3 on the second sheet of paper. It will print page 6 and then page 5 on the

third sheet of paper, and so on.

When doing manual duplex printing, the paper must be put in the paper tray in the following way:

For the paper tray:

• Put the side to be printed on face down with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the front of the tray.

• To print on the second side, put the paper face up, with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the front

of the tray.

• If letterhead paper is used, put the paper in the tray with the heading face up at the front of the tray.

• To print on the second side, put the heading face down at the front of the tray.

For the multi-purpose tray (MP tray):

• Put the side to be printed on face up with the leading edge (top) of the paper in first.

• To print on the second side, put the paper face down, with the leading edge (top) of the paper in first.

• If letterhead paper is used, put it in with the heading face down and in first.

• To print on the second side, put the heading face up and in first.
