Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper
2
 If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
 If paper is curled, turn over the stack, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the MP Tray.
 If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper, straighten it and turn over the
stack.
 When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality.
If there is a paper jam:

Automatic duplex printing
2
 Use Letter, Legal or Folio size paper when you use the automatic duplex printing function.
 Make sure that the back cover is closed.
 If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray.
 Use regular paper or thin paper. DO NOT use bond paper.
Manual duplex printing
2
The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the printer driver
instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, straighten it well,
or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or thick paper is not recommended.
Simultaneous scanning, printing and faxing
2
Your machine can print from your computer while sending or receiving a fax in memory, or while scanning a
document into the computer. Fax sending will not be stopped during the computer printing. However, when
the machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the computer printing operation, and then
continues printing when copying or fax receiving has finished.
