3.10.7 Duplex Printing

Using the optional duplexer (DU-300), you can automatically print on both sides of the paper. The duplexer is mounted underneath the printer.

Duplex printing is available for the following paper types:

Plain

Preprinted

Bond

Recycled

Rough

Letterhead

Color

Prepunched

High quality

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

	• To use this function, the optional duplexer must be installed on the
	printer.
Note	• Duplex printing can be also performed from the 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 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.
