To print on both sides of paper

1Load (orient) the paper for duplexing. See Orienting media for instructions.

For better duplexing performance, set the size and type for Tray 1.

3Set the Binding and Orientation options from the Print dialog box, if possible. Otherwise, set them from the MFP control panel. See Layout options for printing on both sides of paper for more information.
