							• In copier mode:• For details about how to make two-sided copies, see page 67 "Duplex Copying".
• In printer mode: • To print on letterhead paper when [Auto Detect] is specified for [Letterhead Setting], you mustspecify [Letterhead] as the paper type in the printer driver's settings.
• If a print job is changed partway through printing from one-sided to two-sided printing, one- sided output after the first copy may be printed facing a different direction. To ensure all
paper is output facing the same direction, specify different input trays for one-sided and two-
sided printing. Note also that two-sided printing must be disabled for the tray specified for
one-sided printing.
• For details about how to make two-sided prints, see page 100 "Printing on Both Sides of Sheets".

							Recommended Paper Sizes and Types
This section describes recommended paper sizes and types.
• If you use paper that curls, either because it is too dry or too damp, a staple clogging or paper jam may occur.
• Do not use paper designed for inkjet printers, as these may stick to the fusing unit and cause a misfeed.
• When you load OHP transparencies, check the front and back of the sheets, and place them correctly, or a misfeed might occur.
