AUTOMATIC TWO-SIDED COPYING
Two originals placed on the document glass can be copied onto each side of a single sheet of paper. In addition, an
RSPF can be used to copy two originals onto one sheet of paper, or one two-sided original onto two sheets of paper,
or one two-sided original onto each side of one sheet of paper.

• Special paper cannot be
used.
• The bypass tray can only be
used when making
one-sided copies from
two-sided originals.
To use paper in the bypass tray, make a two-sided copy as explained in "TWO-SIDED COPYING USING THE
BYPASS TRAY" (p.26).
When performing automatic two-sided copying of a one-sided original, or one-sided copying of a two-sided
original, the image on the back can be rotated 180 degrees to reverse the top and bottom (Image rotation in
duplex copying). To rotate the image 180 degrees, enable the setting as explained in "IMAGE ROTATION IN
DUPLEX COPYING" (p.25) or in the system settings (p.69), and then follow the steps below. In particular, when
a one-sided vertical (portrait) original is placed in a horizontal orientation (B4 or A3 size) for two-sided copying,
the top and bottom of the images on the front and back of the paper will be reversed, and thus this function can
be conveniently used to make the top and bottom of the images agree.
