Duplex (Duplex printing)

Using the duplexer, 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 is done by selecting either short edge or long edge binding mode.

Note Duplex printing can be also performed from the MP tray. 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.

IMPORTANT Duplex printing for coated paper (COATED) is possible if the optional paper feeder PF-510 is installed.

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.
