2-Sided Printing Problems
If you have problems when copying or printing on two sides of a sheet, then the media you are using or
the settings you are using are probably not correct.
•
Make sure that you are using approved media. Only plain paper in either Letter or A4 size can be
used in the duplex unit.
•
Do not do 2-sided printing on envelopes, labels, postcards, thin or think card stock, letterhead, or on
plain paper with a size other than Letter or A4.
•
Make sure you have not mixed media types in the tray.
•
In the printer driver Layout tab, under Print on Both Sides, choose
Short Edge Binding
(flipped as
on a clipboard) or
Long Edge Binding
(flipped as in a loose-leaf notebook).
•
For 2-up on 2-sided pages, choose
Collate
only in the printer driver’s Basic tab. Do not set collation
in the application.
•
Make sure the duplex speed setting is appropriate to your situation. See
Changing the Duplexing
Speed
on page 187.
Changing the Duplexing Speed
If you are having problems with image transfer during 2-sided printing or copying, you can change the
duplexing speed.
To change the duplexing speed:
1. On the printer control panel, press the
Back/Menu
button to enter the System Menu, then press
the
Down Arrow
button to go to
General Setup
. Press the
OK
button.
Some areas of the scanned
image are missing.
Acrobat 8 (Macintosh version) is
used for scanning the image.
With the Acrobat Scan setting, turn
off the OCR and Filtering functions.
The paper is wrinkled.
The paper is moist from humidity or
spilled water.
Remove the moist paper and
replace it with new, dry paper.
The media feed roller or fuser unit is
defective.
Inspect them for damage. If
necessary, contact Technical
Support.
You are using unsupported media
(wrong size, thickness, type, etc.).
Use Xerox-approved media only.
See
Supported Paper and Media
on
page 52.

Fax mode.
An error has occurred in Copy mode.
