Duplexing

How do I duplex?
Manual Duplexing
To manually duplex, remove the media, flip it over, and reload it.
If you can’t determine which side of the media to print on, remove the media
from the tray, rotate the stack 180°, turn the stack over, and then place it back
in the tray.
Autoduplexing
Duplex (2-sided) printing can be done automatically with the optional duplex
unit installed.
5"
Only up to 28 lb bond (105 g/m²) plain paper can be autoduplexed.
1When printing duplex (both sides
of sheet) long-edge first from the
universal tray, load the media
printing-side down with the top of
the media (or letterhead or memo
information) toward the right side
of the tray. If you want to print
duplex (both sides per sheet) from
the letter/A4 tray (short-edge first),
load the media printing-side down
with the top of the media toward
the back of the tray.
In autoduplexing, side B (the back side) is printed first and side A (the
front side) is printed last.
2Set the driver—for example:
aMake sure you have selected the Optional Duplexer as an installed
option in the printer driver.
bIn Duplex Options, select Long Edge (flipped horizontally as in a
loose-leaf notebook), or Short Edge (flipped vertically as on a clip-
board) as the Duplex option.

You can select to
duplex
with the
Short Edge option on media
that is
loaded
in the media tray with the long edge as the lead-
ing edge and vice versa.
