Paper Feed Mode (Setting the paper feed source)
This mode specifies how the paper should be fed once the paper feed 
source and paper type have been chosen. If  Auto is selected, the printer 
searches for a paper feed source that matches the paper size and type, 
and paper is then delivered from that source. If  Fixed is selected and 
there is no matching paper feed source, handling proceeds as specified 
by  Paper Mismatch  for Error Handling . For details on paper 
feeding when  Fixed is selected, refer to  Paper Mismatch (Detection 
settings for paper size/type errors when the paper source is fixed) on 
page 4-58 . The default setting is  Auto. To change the settings, follow the

Activating the duplexer is done by selecting either short edge or long 
edge binding mode.
IMPORTANT  
Duplex printing for coated paper (COATED) is possible 
if the optional paper feeder PF-530 is installed.
Binding Modes
Binding refers to the manner in which printed pages of paper are joined 
together (by gluing, stitching, etc.) in book form. The two possible types 
of binding are: long-edge binding, in which pages are joined together 
along their long edge; and short-edge binding, in which they are joined 
together along their short edge. In selecting a binding type, you must also 
consider the orientation of the printed page. You can use long-edge or 
short-edge binding with either  landscape or portrait printing.
Depending on the binding type and print orientation, the duplexer 
provides four types of binding. These are: (1) portrait, long-edge, (2) 
portrait, short edge, (3) landscape, long-edge, and (4) landscape, short-
edge. The figure below shows these binding methods. 
1Press  Z while Print Settings >  is displayed.
2Press U or  V repeatedly until  >Duplex appears.
3Press [OK]. A blinking question mark ( ?) appears.
4Press  U or  V to display the desired binding mode. The message 
display toggles through the following:
Off (default)
Short edge bind
Long edge bind
5Press  [OK].
6Press  [MENU] . The display returns to Ready .
Note  Duplex printing can be also performed from the MP tray. If 
the paper to be fed from the MP tray does not match the paper 
size and paper type of the current paper feed source cassette, a 
paper jam may occur.
