Duplex printing

The printer supports duplex printing from the manual-feed slot.

Note Frequent duplexing increases the need to perform paper feed roller cleaning procedures. Refer to ÒIdentifying cleaning proceduresÓ on page 5-16 for more information.

When you manually feed a paper sheet for second-side (duplex) printing, youÕll need to rotate the paper differently depending on whether you are printing portrait or landscape images.

Note When printing two-sided landscape documents, maintain a minimum margin of 9mm (0.35 in.) on the leading and trailing (narrow) edges of the paper. Maintaining at least a 9mm margin lets you to avoid offset problems between the front and back sides of your document. If your application allows, you can rotate either the front or the back side image 180¡ to avoid margin offset issues.
