Printer Driver Features
Duplex Printing
Duplex printing or “duplexing” allows you to print on both
sides of the paper. This can speed up the print time and help
conserve paper. You can use duplex printing two ways.
Choosing
Long Edge
lets you have the
binding orientation along the long edge of
the paper as in a magazine.
Choosing
Short Edge
lets you have the
binding orientation along the short edge of
the paper as in a calendar.
The duplexing feature can be accessed from
the printer driver’s Properties pages or from
the Operator Panel.
Proof Sheets
This layout mode allows you to print out a
reduced version of your document or
booklet. It lets you scan multiple pages at a
glance and is accessible through the Layout
Mode area of the Finishing tab in your
Window’s driver.
