3.10.6 Duplex Printing (FS-8000CD)

The FS-8000CD is equipped with the PD-30 duplex unit as a standard feature. The Paper Handling menu on the operator panel provides you with activating the duplexer for printing both sides of paper. You can also select the direction the duplex printed pages are bound — short or long edge binding. See Figure 3-14below.

Duplex printing is available for the following paper types:

	Plain
	Prepunched
	Recycled
	Letterhead
	Color
	Prepunched
	Vellum
	The procedure in this section will activate the duplexer as default. Even without
	following this procedure, you can conveniently activate or deactivate duplex printing
Note	using the printer driver.

Activating the duplexer on the operator panel is done by selecting either short edge or long edge binding mode.

	Duplex printing can be also performed from the Multi-Purpose (MP) tray. When the MP tray
	is set to First Mode (“First”), the paper size and paper type will be the same as those of the
Caution	paper cassette currently set at the paper feed source. If the paper to be fed from the MP tray
	does not match the paper size and paper type of the current paper feed source cassette, a
	paper jam may occur.

Binding Modes

Binding refers to the manner in which printed pages of paper are joined together (by gluing, stitching, etc.) in book form. The two possible types of binding are: long-edge binding, in which pages are joined together along their long edge; and short-edge binding, in which they are joined together along their short edge. In selecting a binding type, you must also consider the orientation of the printed page. You can use long-edge or short-edge binding with either landscape or portrait printing.

Depending on the binding type and print orientation, the duplexer provides four types of binding. These are: (1) portrait, long-edge, (2) portrait, short edge, (3) landscape, long-edge, and (4) landscape, short-edge. The figure below shows these binding methods.
