Printing on both sides (duplexing)

You can print on both sides of a sheet of paper (called duplexing or two-sided printing) manually.

The printer prints the first side of each page, waits for you to reinsert the paper into the printer, and then prints the second side of each page. Other documents cannot be printed while the printer waits for you to insert the paper for the second side to be printed.

CAUTION Do not print on both sides of labels, transparencies, or vellum. Damage to the printer and jams might result.

Paper orientation for printing on both sides

For manual duplexing, print on the second side of the sheet of paper first. The paper needs to be oriented as shown in the following illustration.

For tray 1, load the first side facing down with the bottom, short edge toward the printer.

For all other trays, load the first side facing up with the top, short edge toward the printer.
