Document Style (duplex printing, booklet)
The printer can print documents on both sides of the paper. (An
optional duplex module (AR-DU1) must be installed for the AR-280
printer.) To use the duplex printing feature, you must select the
duplex module in the configuration tab. See page 25.
With the PCL5e or PS drivers, the orientation of the ‘front’ and ‘back’
sides of two-sided document pages depends on whether ‘2-sided
(Book)’ or ‘2-sided (Tablet)’ setting is chosen. If ‘2-sided (Book)’ is
selected, documents will be printed like pages of a book, with the top
of the ‘front’ page and the top of the ‘back’ page printed along the
same edge of the sheet of paper. If ‘2-sided (Tablet)’ is selected,
documents will be printed like pages of a tablet, with the top of the
‘front’ page and the bottom of the ‘back’ page printed along the same
edge of the sheet of paper. These choices apply both to portrait and
landscape pages.
With the PS PPD drivers, the binding position is designated with ‘Flip
on long edge’ or ‘Flip on short edge’. If ‘Flip on long edge’ is selected,
printing is made so that a long edge can be used as a binding edge
regardless of portrait or landscape orientation. If ‘Flip on short edge’
is selected, printing is made so that a short edge can be used as a
binding edge regardless of portrait or landscape orientation.
When printing an odd number of originals in 2-sided mode, the total page count may be incremented by one more
than the number of pages in the document because the back side of the last paper is printed as a blank page.
Ensure “Collate” is not selected in the application print dialogue when setting a multiple number of copies on the
application software to ensure correct order printing.
Do not use special papers such as labels and transparency film for duplex printing.
The printer can re-arrange the pages of a document so that
the printed sheets can be folded into booklet form (booklet
printing). This feature combines 2-Up printing and two-sided
(duplex) printing, so that two document pages are printed on
each side of each sheet of paper. The booklet printing
feature also re-orders the pages of the document, so that
they will appear in the correct reading order when the
booklet is folded and bound. When the booklet feature is
selected, a list box will appear for the paper size selection.
For same-size printing, the paper size must be twice as
large as the original document. But the paper size can be
the same size as the original document by reducing the print image.
If the number of printed pages exceeds the memory capacity limit, printing with this function will cause an error. In this
case, the print job will be canceled and a notice page will be output.
This feature can only be used with certain paper sizes. These include letter, ledger, A3 and A4.
