DUPLEX MODULE

If a duplex module is installed, printing onto both sides of paper can be performed.

Two types of duplex modules are available: duplex module/bypass tray and duplex module. The descriptions in this manual are for the duplex module/bypass tray. For information on misfeed removal for these modules, see page 2-19.

Part names

Exit tray

The tray is extendable to support large size paper. Extend the tray when A3, B4, 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14" or 8-1/2" x 13" paper is being used. For a duplex module (not duplex module/bypass tray), the exit tray is optional.

Bypass tray

This tray can also be used for special papers including transparency film. (See next page and page 2-3.)

Duplex module

Automatic copying on both sides of the paper is possible.

NOTE

Automatic two-sided printing can be done only onto plain paper. Special papers cannot be used for two-sided printing. (See page 2-4 for explanation on special paper.)

NOTES

Do not press down on the bypass tray or the exit tray.

The duplex module requires the installation of other peripheral devices in order to be functional and cannot be installed together with some other devices. The table on page 8-4 shows the configurations which are compatible.
