About the Duplexer

The duplexer is a customer-installed optional device that enables automatic printing on both sides of a sheet of paper. The duplexer is designed to be mounted inside the printer, just below the exit transport in the paper path. The duplexer drives a single-sided print partially out of the exit transport, then reverses the direction and pulls the printed page back into the printer to print the second side. The printer can image two pages at a time. Therefore the duplex unit will pro- cess two pages (sides 1 and 3). then re-feed these pages for sides 2 and 4.
