This section includes:

•Binding Edge Options on page 87

Note: Automatic 2-sided printing is available for the Phaser 6140/DN printer configuration. Manual 2-sided printing using Tray 1 is available for both Phaser 6140 configurations, but only using the PCL 6 printer driver (Windows only). For details, see Performing Manual 2-sided Printing from Tray 1 on page 88. However, you can use the manual feed slot to print double-sided pages one sheet at a time using the PostScript driver. For details, see Performing Manual 2-sided Printing from the Manual Feed Slot on page 89.

Automatic 2-Sided Printing Guidelines

Before printing a 2-sided document, verify that the paper is a supported size for the tray. For a list of supported sizes, see Supported Paper and Media on page 50.

Do not use the following media for automatic 2-sided printing:

•Transparencies

•Envelopes

•Labels

•Any die-cut specialty media, such as business cards

•Card stock

Binding Edge Options

When you use the printer driver to select 2-sided printing, you also select the binding edge. The binding edge determines how the pages turn. The actual outcome depends on the orientation (portrait or landscape) of images on the page, as shown in the following illustrations.
