Duplexing

Select paper with high opacity for duplex (2-sided) printing. Opacity refers to how effectively paper blocks out what is written on the opposite side of the page. If the paper has low opacity (high translucency), then the printed data from one side of the page will show through to the other side. Check your application for margin information. For best results, print a small quantity to make sure the opacity is acceptable.

Duplex (2-sided) printing can be done manually or can be done automatically with the duplex unit installed and enabled.

Note:

Only plain paper, 75–90 g/m2 (20–24 lb bond) can be autoduplexed. See “Media Specifications” on page 45. Duplexing envelopes, labels, transparencies, or glossy is not supported.

How do I autoduplex?

You should verify that the duplex unit is physically installed on the printer and enabled in the printer driver to successfully duplex the job.

Check your application to determine how to set your margins for duplex printing.
