Duplexing a copy job

Any copy job can be duplexed. See “Duplex copying and printing” on page 29 for general information. These duplexing options are available:

One side to two sides. If a duplexer is installed and you are using the ADF, this duplexing is done automatically. If you are using the scanner glass, you are prompted to place the next original on the glass.

Two sides to one side. When this option is selected, you are prompted to turn the page over to copy the second side. Either the scanner glass or the ADF can be used. A duplexer is not required.

Two sides to two sides. This option requires that a duplexer be installed. When you select this option, you are prompted to turn the originals over to copy the second side whether you are using the ADF or the scanner glass.

Note

When copying two sides to two sides, the MFP scans each page and stores the page

 

images on the hard disk until both sides of each original have been scanned and placed

 

into the correct order. For this reason, you will experience a slight delay before the copy

 

job starts to print. After copying begins, output will be at normal speed.
