About Duplex Printing (AcuLaser CX16NF only)
Duplex (double-sided) printing can be performed when the duplex option has been installed on this
machine.
Note:
For details on installing the duplex option, refer to “Duplex Unit with Attachment (Duplex Option)” on
page 201.
If the paper has low opacity (high translucency), then the printed data from one side of the page will
show through to the other side. Check your application for margin information. For best results, print
a small quantity to make sure the opacity is acceptable.

Output Tray
The printed media is fed out facing down into the output tray below the control panel. This tray has a
capacity of approximately 100 sheets (A4/Letter) of 80 g/m2 paper.
Note:
If the media is stacked too high in the output tray, your machine may experience media misfeeds,
excessive media curl, or static buildup.
The output tray can be pulled out to be extended. Adjust the output tray according to the size of paper
to be printed on.
Media Storage
❏Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to load it.
Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up too much and cause
misfeeding.
❏If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original packaging and store in a cool,
dark place on a level surface.
❏Avoid moisture, excessive humidity, direct sunlight, excessive heat (above 35˚C [95˚F]), and dust.
