Duplex Printing

Chapter 3: Printing

3-59

Duplex Printing

With the optional duplex unit installed, you can print 
two-sided (duplex) jobs.

Use only the size paper listed in Table 2.1 on page 2-4 for 
two-sided jobs. Do not use envelopes, postcards, 
transparencies, or label paper for duplex jobs.

To print duplex, select it in your printer driver when you 
set printer properties (for all jobs) or when you print a 
document (for the specific job).

To ensure that duplex jobs print in the proper orientation, 
set the driver’s 

Orientation

 and 

Duplex

 options to the 

appropriate settings, as shown in Figure 3.3 on page 3-60.
