IMPORTANT
•
You cannot perform automatic 2-sided printing on heavy paper, transparencies, labels,
and envelopes.
•
Do not touch the paper during automatic 2-sided printing until it is output to the output
tray completely. In automatic 2-sided printing, the paper is partially output once after
printed on its surface and is fed again to be printed on its reverse side.
•
Be sure to close the sub-output tray before performing automatic 2-sided printing.
•
Do not open the sub-output tray during automatic 2-sided printing.
•
When performing manual 2-sided printing, flatten folds and curls of the paper, and then
load the paper one piece at a time in the multi-purpose tray.
NOTE
When the last page for the 2-sided printing is 1-sided printing, the printer prints faster
than normal 2-sided printing by clicking [Finishing Details] in the [Finishing] sheet and
[Advanced Settings] in the [Finishing Details] dialog box, and then selecting the [Print
Last Page in 1-sided Mode when 2-sided Printing is Set] check box in the [Advanced
Settings] dialog box. However, when printing punched paper or previously printed paper,
the orientation or printing surface of the last page may differ from other pages. In this
case, clear the check box.
