Printing on both sides of the paper (duplexing) automatically
The printer has a built-in duplex unit that lets you print on both sides of the paper automatically.
Note:
Automatic two-sided printing (duplexing) works only with plain paper in letter and A4 sizes. If you want to print
two-sided documents on another size or type of paper, use the manual duplexing method.

Printing on both sides of the paper (duplexing) manually
If you want to print a two-sided (duplex) job on a size or type of paper other than letter- or A4-size plain paper, you
must use the manual duplex method. This method involves printing the odd-numbered pages, then flipping and
reloading the stack of paper to print the even-numbered pages on the other side of the sheets.
