Using Duplex Bind
Printing on both sides of the paper reduces printing costs. When you select duplex bind printing in
the printer driver or Duplex Bind in the Finishing Menu on the operator panel, you must select either
long edge or short edge binding. Duplex Bind defines the way duplexed pages are bound, and how
the printing on the back of the sheet (even-numbered pages) is oriented in relation to th e printing on
the front (odd-numbered pages).
The two values for Duplex Bind are:
Long Edge Assumes binding along the long end of the page (left edge for portrait orientation and top
edge for landscape orientation). The following illustration shows long-edge binding for
portrait and landscape pages:
Short Edge Assumes binding along the short edge of the page (top edge for portrait orientation and
left edge for landscape orientation). The following illustration shows short-edg e binding
for portrait and landscape pages:
