To use this function, the duplexer must be installed on the print-

derneath the printer. The default setting of the duplex print-
ing is
None
(duplex printing disabled).
Binding Setups
The term binding refers to the manner in which printed pag-
es of paper are joined together (by gluing, stitching, etc.) in
book form. The two possible types of binding are long-edge
binding, in which pages are joined together along their long
edge; and short-edge binding, in which they are joined to-
gether along their short edge. In selecting a binding type,
you must also consider the orientation of the printed page.
You can use long-edge or short-edge binding with either
landscape or portrait printing.
Depending on the binding type and print orientation, the du-
plex unit provides four types of binding setups. These are: (1)
portrait, long-edge, (2) portrait, short edge, (3) landscape,
long-edge, and (4) landscape, short-edge. The figure below
shows these binding setups.

tor panel, proceed as follows.
