Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper
If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the MP tray.
If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it.
When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality. (If there is a paper jam, see Paper jams and how to clear them on page 121. If you have a print quality problem, see Improving the print quality on page 130.)
