Caution

Automatic 2-sided printing

To have the printer do automatic 2-sided printing (duplexing):

The printer must have a duplex unit installed.

The paper must be loaded in a tray. The printer will NOT do automatic 2-sided printing on paper 
loaded in the Multi-Purpose Tray.

The paper must have a weight of 75-105 g/m

2

 (20 - 28 lb. bond).

The paper size must be A5 or larger. The printer will NOT do automatic 2-sided printing on paper 
smaller than 148 x 210 mm (5.83 x 8.27 in.).

The paper type must be 

Plain Paper

Letterhead

, or 

Special

.

Caution

DO NOT use any specialty media (such as glossy coated paper), envelopes, or labels for 
automatic 2-sided printing. Any damage caused by duplexing specialty media may not be 
covered under your printer warranty.

For best results with automatic 2-sided printing, do not use heavy toner coverage on the even-numbered 
pages of your print job.

When you print any job, you can use the printer driver to select the orientation of the images on the 
page: 

Portrait

 or 

Landscape

. When you print 2-sided jobs, you also select the binding preference, 

which determines how the pages turn; refer to the table on page 14 for the wording used in the printer 
drivers for binding preference.

You MUST set the paper type and size in the 

printer’s 

front panel 

any time you add paper to 

the printer. 

If you change paper sizes or types, 

take a moment to ensure that the front panel 

values agree with your paper choice. 

If you fail 

to do this, you can damage the printer’s fuser.
