Duplex Printing
The duplex command specifies whether printing is done on one or both sides of the page. .
Use <on> for two-sided printing, <off> for single-sided printing.
When <tumble> is specified, the image on the back face of the page is rotated 180 degrees
for top-binding of the document
When <letterhead> is selected, the file is printed in simplex mode (one-sided), but
transformations are performed so that simplex and duplex sheets are oriented the same in
the output tray. The <letterhead> option is used to ensure that the paper orientation is
flipped the same way for simplex and duplex jobs. On some printers, this involves printing
all simplex jobs through the duplexer unit. This places images on the paper in the same
rotation and in the correct order for face-down output. Printing all simplex jobs through
the duplexer means that the header and trailer pages are also printed through the duplexer.
Since simplex jobs are printed through the duplexer, print speed is that of duplex print
jobs.
To print your jobs correctly on letterhead paper, the paper must be loaded into the input
tray properly. Refer to your printer documentation for information on loading paper when
using the <letterhead>, <duplex>, or <tumble> options.
