Duplex Printing
When the Duplex Unit DU-52 is installed in the printer, you can print on both sides
of the same sheet of paper. See the table below for details on the memory requirements
for duplex printing.
The printer also has a binding setup feature that prints the text so that the pages can
be bound either at the top or left edge. No special paper is required for duplex printing.
The printer uses an advanced Memory Reduction Technology that compresses
documents, when necessary. This reduces the memory requirements for printing
complex pages. These could include duplex documents, documents using a variety of
fonts, scanned or dithered photographs and documents containing large amounts of
graphical data. This type of compression greatly reduces memory errors while
printing, however, it can also reduce the print speed and print quality of some
documents. With more memory, the printer can handle more complex documents
without having to use compression.
The table below lists the minimum amount of total memory required for duplex
printing to operate effectively. For example, the printer has 4 MB of standard memory
so for the 8 MB listed in the table below, you need an additional 4 MB of memory. For
details about installing additional memory, please refer to “Installing a RAM (memory)
DIMM” in the Getting Started Guide.

Legal 4 MB 8 MB
1200 x 1200 dpi Letter, A4 4 MB 8 MB

Note: Canon recommends adding more memory than listed above.
Even with a total of 8 MB, you may need to install additional memory if you frequently
print complicated documents that contain large amounts of data.
For details about installing the Duplex Unit DU-52, refer to the instructions in the
