    Printing on Both Sides of Paper
    You can print on both sides of a sheet of paper. Before printing, 
    decide how you want your document oriented.
    The options are:
    •Printer Setting, if you select this option, this feature is 
    determined by the setting you’ve made on the control 
    panel of the printer. 
    If this option does not appear, 
    your printer does not have this feature.
    •None
    •Long Edge, which is the conventional layout used in 
    book binding.
    •
    Short Edge, which is the type often used with calendars.
    •
    Reverse Duplex, allows you to select general print 
    order compare to duplex print order. 
    If this option does 
    not appear, your printer does not have this feature.
    NOTE: 
    • 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, Oficio and Folio, with a weight 
    of 20~24 lbs (75~90 g/m²). 
    1To change the print settings from your software 
    application, access printer properties. Printing a 
    Document on page 12.
    2From the Layout tab, select the paper orientation.
    3From the Double-sided Printing section, select the 
    binding option you want.     
    4Click the Paper tab and select the paper source, size, and 
    type.
    5Click OK and print the document.
    NOTE: If your printer does not have a duplex unit, you should 
    complete the printing job manually. The printer prints every 
    other page of the document first. After printing the first side of 
    your job, the Printing Tip window appears. Follow the on-
    screen instructions to complete the printing job.

    Using Overlays
    What is an Overlay?
    An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard 
    disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on 
    any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of 
    preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using 
    preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the 
    exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To 
    print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need 
    to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only 
    tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your 
    document.
    Creating a New Page Overlay
    To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay 
    containing your logo or image.
    1Create or open a document containing text or an image for 
    use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as 
    you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay.
    2To save the document as an overlay, access printer 
    properties. See Printing a Document on page 12.
    3Click the Extras tab, and click Edit button in the Overlay 
    section. 
    4In the Edit Overlay window, click Create Overlay. 
    5In the Create Overlay window, type a name of up to eight 
    characters in the 
    File name box. Select the destination 
    path, if necessary. (The default is C:\Formover).
    6Click Save. The name appears on the Overlay List box. 
    7Click OK or Yes to finish creating. 
    The file is not printed. Instead it is stored on your 
    computer hard disk drive. 
    NOTE: The overlay document size must be the same as the 
    documents you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay 
    with a watermark.

    select the overlay file. 
    If you have stored the overlay file you want to use in an 
    external source, you can also load the file when you access 
    the 
    Load Overlay window. 
    After you select the file, click 
    Open. The file appears in the 
    Overlay List box and is available for printing. Select the 
    overlay from the

    selected, the overlay automatically prints with your 
    document. 
    7Click OK or Yes until printing begins. 
    The selected overlay downloads with your print job and 
    prints on your document.
