Some printer models are capable of automatic 2-sided (duplex) printing, or printing on both sides of a page. To find out which models support 2-sided printing, see Printer configurations.
You must specify automatic 2-sided printing options in your software application or in the printer driver in order to print on both sides of the page.
Perform the following to use automatic 2-sided printing:
●Verify that the printer driver is configured for 2-sided printing. (For instructions, see the online Help for the printer driver.)
●Select the appropriate 2-sided printing options in the printer driver software. 2-sided printing options include page and binding orientation.
●2-sided printing is not supported for certain media types, including transparencies, labels, cardstock, and glossy film.
●For best results, avoid 2-sided printing with rough-textured, heavy-weight paper.
●When using 2-sided printing, load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 2, Tray 3, and Tray 4 face-down with the top edge of the page to the left. To load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 1, load them face-up with the top edge of the page to the left.
Control panel settings for automatic 2-sided printing
Many software applications allow you to change 2-sided printing settings. If your software application or printer driver does not allow you to adjust 2-sided printing settings, you can adjust these settings through the control panel. The factory default setting is OFF.
Do not use 2-sided printing when printing on labels. Serious damage to the printer may result.
To enable or disable 2-sided printing from the printer control panel
Changing settings for 2-sided printing through the printer control panel affects all print jobs. Whenever possible, change settings for 2-sided printing through your software application or printer driver.
