Duplex printing

This printer allows you to print double-sided on laser paper, from the PAPER trays and the Multi-Purpose Feeder.

Caution Use laser bond paper for duplexing; two-sided printing on specialty media can shorten component life. For opacity and feed reliability, use laser paper that is at least 100 g/m2 (28 lb. bond). For best results, do not use heavy toner coverage on Side 1. Also, increase the top margin on Side 1 for better feed reliability.
