Printing on both sides of the paper (duplex printing)

Printing on both sides of the paper reduces printing costs.

You can use the 250-sheet tray or the 550-sheet drawer to print a duplex job.

Note: The duplex unit only supports certain sizes and types of print media. Only A4, letter, legal and folio size paper can be used for duplex printing. The printer does not support duplex printing on any other type of print media.

Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. Use the following table for help when loading letterhead in the media sources for duplex printing.

Media source or process	Print side	Top of page
Duplex (two-sided) printing from	Printed letterhead face up	The top edge of the sheet with the logo is
trays		placed at the front of the tray

Duplex (two-sided) printing from	Printed letterhead face down	The top edge of the sheet with the logo enters
Manual feeder		the printer first.

You can choose how you want your job duplexed: Long Edge or Short Edge.

•Long Edge means pages are bound along the long edge of the page (left edge for portrait, top edge for landscape).
