Printing on Both Sides of the Paper
You can print on both sides of the paper automatically. Before 
printing, decide how you want your documents oriented. 
The options are:
•Long Edge, which is the conventional layout used in book 
binding, or portrait.
•Short Edge, which is the type often used with calendars, or 
landscape. 
NOTES:
• Do not print on both sides of labels, transparencies, envelopes, 
or thick paper. Paper jamming and damage to the printer may 
result.
• To use double-sided printing, you can use only the following 
paper sizes: A4, Letter, Legal and Folio that weigh 20~24lbs 
(75~90 g/m2).
There are two ways to enable or disable double-sided printing:
Using the Control Panel Menu
Select Duplex in the Layout menu. Set the Duplex Margin 
item in the same menu, if necessary. See page 2.10 for more 
details.
For further details about using the control panel menu, see 
page 2.5.
