Selecting 2 sided Printing
The manual 2 sided printing (or duplex printing) feature allows you to print on both sides of a sheet of
paper. You can use the Manual Feeder or Tray 1 for manual 2 sided printing. When you perform manual 2-
sided printing, the printer first prints the even-numbered pages on the front side (side 1) of each sheet.
Once the printer finishes printing all the even-numbered pages, remove the printed output from the output
tray, and load it in the Manual Feeder or Tray 1. Then, you can instruct the printer to print the odd-
numbered pages on the reverse side (side 2) of each sheet.
