Using the duplex function

Using Duplex Bind

When you select duplex bind printing in the printer driver or Duplex Bind in the Finishing Settings in the Local Printer Setup Utility, you must select either long edge or short edge binding, which are the values for this setting. The purpose of Duplex Bind is to define the way duplexed pages are bound, and how the printing on the back of the sheet (even-numbered pages) is oriented in relation to the printing on the front (odd-numbered pages).

The two values for Duplex Bind are:

Long Edge*

The asterisk (*) indicates this is the factory default setting
