Using Duplex Bind
When Duplex Bind printing is selected in the printer driver or Duplex Bind in the Finishing Menu, either long edge or short

duplexed pages are bound, and how the printing on the back of the sheet (even-numbered pages) is oriented in relation to
the printing on the front (odd-numbered pages).
The two values for Duplex Bind are:
