3.4 Manual 2-sided Printing
The manual 2-sided printing (or duplex printing) feature allows you to print on both sides of
a sheet of paper. You can use the manual feeder or tray 1 for manual 2-sided printing.
When you perform manual 2-sided printing, the printer first prints the even-numbered pages
on the front side (side 1) of each sheet. Once the printer finishes printing all the even-
numbered pages, remove the printed output from the output tray, and load it in the manual
feeder or the tray 1. Then, you can instruct the printer to print the odd-numbered pages on
the reverse side (side 2) of each sheet.
For sizes and types of paper can be used for 2-sided printing, refer to "Paper for Manual 2-
Sided Printing" (P. 71).
