DUPLEX MODULE
If a duplex module is installed, printing onto both sides of paper can be performed.
Two types of duplex modules are available: duplex module/bypass tray and duplex module. The descriptions in this
manual are for the duplex module/bypass tray. For misfeed removal for these modules, see page 4-7.

large size paper. Extend the tray
when 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2"

NOTES
● Do not press down on the bypass tray or the exit tray.
● The duplex module requires the installation of other peripheral devices in order to be functional and cannot be
installed together with some other devices. The table on page 6-4 shows the configurations which are compatible.

be done only onto plain paper.
Special papers cannot be used
for two-sided printing. (See page
1-18 for explanation on special
