Printing on Both Sides of the Paper

You can print on both sides of the page with your printer’s Double-Sided Printing setting. This section includes instructions for standard double-sided printing. For information about how to create single-fold booklets, see your electronic Reference Guide.

For best results, use EPSON Premium Bright White Paper or Double-Sided Matte Paper. However, you can also get excellent results using plain paper.

Don’t print on both sides of paper that is designed for single-sided printing, such as EPSON Premium Glossy Photo Paper, Premium Semigloss Photo Paper, or Photo Quality Ink Jet Paper. Your print will be oversaturated.

Double-sided printing is not available when the printer is shared over a network.

Follow these steps to print on both sides of the page:

1.Load plain paper or another double-sided media in your printer.

For most media, you can print up to 60 pages at a time on 30 sheets of paper.

For Double-Sided Matte Paper, load only one sheet at a time.

Print longer documents in sections. For example, if you’re printing a 175-page document, print it in three sections of 60 pages (30 sheets), 60 pages (30 sheets), and 55 pages (28 sheets). Select the following page ranges in your print dialog box: 1–60, 61–120, 121–175.

If your long document has an odd number of pages, print even numbers of pages for the first sections and print an odd number for the last section. That way, if you have a blank page it will appear at the end of your document.
