■ Two-sided printing (Duplex printing)
Two-sided printing is possible by using the multi-purpose tray. However,
you should not expect the same print quality and reliability that you get with
one-sided printing. We strongly recommend that you follow the guidelines
below.
•Do not load more than 50 sheets in the multi-purpose tray.
•Before loading paper in the multi-purpose tray, adjust it so that the edges of
the media are lightly touching the media guides of the multi-purpose tray.
•Use heavier paper, at least 95 to 165 g/m2 (28 to 44 lbs. Bond) for reliable
feed. Do not load a thin sheet of paper in the multi-purpose tray. It
may cause a paper jam.
•It is strongly suggested to use color laser bond paper.
•Duplex printing on certain types of paper may shorten the life of some
components in the printer.
•Use multi-purpose tray for second side printing.
•When printing on the first page, avoid printing photograph or graphic
in solid color to prevent paper jamming. It may cause a damage to the
printer. For increased reliability print the page with the least amount of
toner coverage first. (See below.)
•Before printing on the first side, set the unprintable area [at least 15
mm (0.59") in length] on the top of paper. (See below.)

When printing on the
first page, it is strongly
recommended that the
sizes of photograph and
graphic printed on the
page are as small as
possible.
