Duplexing blank pages If selecting source or type in the software driver, the printer will not print blank second sides of duplexed pages, resulting in faster performance. However, if the paper type is set to ANY TYPE, LETTERHEAD, PREPRINTED, or PREPUNCHED, the blank second sides print to prevent text from printing on the wrong side of the page. Options for binding two-sided printing jobs Before printing a two-sided document, in the printer driver choose the edge on which you will bind your finished document. Long-edge or book binding is the conventional layout used in book binding. Short-edge or tablet binding is the typical calendar binding. The default binding setting is to bind on the long edge when the page is set up for portrait orientation. To change to short edge binding, click the Flip Pages Up check box. Manual two-sided (duplex) printing Printing on both sides can be performed manually (manual duplex printing). This is useful for paper sizes or weights that are not supported for automatic duplexing (for example, cardstock or custom size paper). It can also be performed on printer models that do not support automatic two-sided printing. Damaged or previously used paper can cause paper jams and should not be used. Manual two-sided printing is not supported for Windows 98 and NT 4.0 systems that use the PS driver. To manually print on two sides (duplex) 1. Ensure that the printer driver is configured to allow manual duplexing. In the printer driver, select Allow Manual Duplex. See Accessing the printer drivers. 2. From the application, open the printer driver. 3. Select the appropriate size and type. 4. On the Finishing tab, click Print on Both Sides or Print on Both Sides (Manually). 5. The default binding option is to bind on the long edge of the paper in portrait layout. To change the setting, click the Finishing tab, and select the Flip pages up checkbox. 6. Click OK. The Print on Both Sides instructions will appear. Follow the instructions to finish printing your document. Two-sided (duplex) printing 101
