Duplexing

Select paper with high opacity for duplex (double-sided) printing. Opacity refers to how effectively paper blocks out what is written on the opposite side of the page. If the paper has low opacity (high translucency), then the printed data from one side of the page will show through to the other side. Check your application for margin information. For best results, print a small quantity to make sure the opacity is acceptable.

Duplex (double-sided) printing can be done manually or can be done auto- matically with the duplex option installed and selected. For installing the duplex, refer to “Installing the Duplex” on page 205.
