Print on both Sides

The default setting for the Print on both Sides option is on (selected). Print on both Sides is available when the following conditions exist:

Paper type: on the Paper/Quality tab is set to any paper type except for the following:

Labels

Page size: is set to any paper size except for the following:

Statement

Automatically print on both sides

The duplexing unit in the product prints on two sides of a sheet of paper when the Print on both sides option is selected.

Products with a duplexer installed support smart duplexing. The smart duplexing feature increases printing performance by preventing one-page print jobs or single-sided pages of a duplexed print job from going through the duplexing unit, even when the duplexing feature has been selected in the printer driver.

All paper types support the smart duplexing feature, except for paper types that cannot be printed on both sides, such as labels, and the following:

Prepunched

Preprinted

Letterhead

When the paper type is set to Unspecified, the smart duplexing feature is disabled.

Selecting a paper type instructs the product to use a group of settings (such as fuser temperature and print speed) to create an image that has the best possible quality for that paper. This group of settings is known as a print mode. A different print mode is used with each paper type. To achieve the best print quality when printing on the second side of the page, the product makes adjustments to its print modes. Print-mode adjustments for the second side of a duplexed page are automatic.

Flip pages up

Use the Flip pages up check box to specify the duplex-binding option. By default, the Flip pages up check box is available only when Print on both sides is selected.

The following table shows the results of selecting this check box, depending on the paper orientation selected on the Finishing tab.
