3.10.6 Duplex Printing (FS-C8008DN)

The FS-C8008DN is equipped with the PD-800 duplex unit as a standard feature. The Paper Handling menu on the operator panel provides you with activating the duplexer for printing both sides of paper. You can also select the direction the duplex printed pages are bound — short or long edge binding. See Figure 3-13below.

Duplex printing is available for the following paper types:

Plain

Prepunched

Bond

Recycled

Rough

Letterhead

Color

Prepunched

Vellum

Activating the duplexer on the operator panel is done by selecting either short edge or long edge binding mode.

Duplex printing can be also performed from the Multi-Purpose (MP) tray. When the MP tray is set to First Mode (“First”), the paper size and paper type will be the same as those

Note of the paper cassette currently set at the paper feed source. If the paper to be fed from the MP tray does not match the paper size and paper type of the current paper feed source cassette, a paper jam may occur.

Binding Modes

Binding refers to the manner in which printed pages of paper are joined together (by gluing, stitching, etc.) in book form. The two possible types of binding are: long-edge binding, in which pages are joined together along their long edge; and short-edge binding, in which they are joined together along their short edge. In selecting a binding type, you must also consider the orientation of the printed page. You can use long-edge or short-edge binding with either landscape or portrait printing.

Depending on the binding type and print orientation, the duplexer provides four types of binding. These are: (1) portrait, long-edge, (2) portrait, short edge, (3) landscape, long-edge, and (4) landscape, short-edge. The figure below shows these binding methods.
