Tips for Duplex Printing
Some software applications include “odd pages” and “even pages”
printing. If this option is available, print the even pages first using the
top output tray, then put the stack right side up in Tray 2 (
B
) and print
the odd pages.
Use the “Manual Feed with Pause” option in your software application to
pause the printer between sheets of paper, allowing you to insert the pages
one at a time. (See “Manual Feed Printing (Pausing between Pages)” on
page 3-9.)
Note
When the second side is printing, you may experience a higher
frequency of paper misfeeds, paper jams, and multi-feeds. The print
quality may be different on the second side of the media.
