Performing manual duplexing

If you want, you can duplex manually. Leave the auto-duplex unit in place. You will choose Manual duplexing in the printer driver.

To perform manual duplexing (Windows)

1Load the appropriate paper in Tray 1 or Tray 2.

2On the File menu, click Print, and then click Properties. (The actual steps can vary; this is the most common method.)

3On the Basics tab, select Back to Front under Page Order.

4On the Finishing tab, select the Print on Both Sides check box. Make sure that the Automatic check box is cleared.

5When duplexing, the top margin might need to be increased slightly to make sure pages align. Select the Preserve Layout check box to reduce the margins so that the page prints on a single sheet. Clear this check box if you prefer that the page print on more than one sheet with full margins.

6Select or clear the Flip Pages Up check box depending on which way you want the binding. See the graphics in the printer driver for examples.

7Click OK to close the dialog box.

8Click OK to print.

9Depending on your type of printer connection, do one of the following steps.

For directly connected printers: After the first side prints, a dialog box appears on your computer. Follow the instructions on the screen for reloading the job and then click Continue.

For network-connected printers: When the first side of the job has printed, the Resume light blinks. If the Toolbox is installed, the Toolbox shows a dialog box to show you how to reload the job.

10Press the (resume button) on the printer.

For more information on setting print options, see “Changing printer settings”.
