ES3640e MFP Printing Guide - 29

Duplex (double-sided) printing

If your printer has a duplex unit installed you can print on both 
sides of the paper, to save paper, weight, bulk and cost.

> Only paper can be used for duplex printing, not 

transparencies or other media.

> Use paper stock of 75–120 g/m². If you experience 

excessive curling with 75–90 g/m² paper, use 105 g/m².

> Use standard sized paper stock only, e.g. A4, A3, Letter, 

etc.

> Load the paper print side up. Ream wrappers are usually 

marked with an arrow, indicating which is the print side.

> Paper can be fed from standard paper trays, including the 

high capacity feeder if you have one, but not from the 
multipurpose tray.

> Do not set the paper weight to Ultra Heavy.

> Do not enable the White Page Skip function.
