Making 2-sided Copies

This section describes how to make 2-sided copies.

There are two basic methods:

Using the exposure glass and bypass tray

You can scan originals using the exposure glass, and print on paper fed from the bypass tray.

Use this method if you are using the Type 1 model.

Using the ADF and tray 1 or 2

You can scan originals using the ADF, and print on paper fed from tray 1 or tray 2. This method is convenient when making a 2-sided copy of an original with many pages.

You can use this method if you are using the Type 2 or Type 3 model.

Using the exposure glass and bypass tray

Place the original on the exposure glass.
Load the paper into the bypass tray.
Press the [B&W Start] key or [Color Start] key.
Load the output paper into the bypass tray with the blank side down.
Make sure to load paper with the top and bottom sides oriented correctly to avoid misprints.
Place the next original on the exposure glass.
Press the [B&W Start] key or [Color Start] key.
Repeat the steps 1. to 5. until all originals are copied.

Using the ADF and tray 1 or 2

Place the odd-numbered pages of the original in the ADF.
Press the [B&W Start] key or [Color Start] key.
Sort the output paper in reverse order.
Load the output paper into tray 1 or 2 with the blank side up.
Make sure to load paper with the top and bottom sides oriented correctly to avoid misprints.
Place the even-numbered pages of the original in the ADF.
Press the [B&W Start] key or [Color Start] key.
- When making 2-sided copies, confirm which tray is used to feed paper from for making copies, by checking the [Paper Select] setting under [Copy Settings].
- If the [Auto Clear] setting is enabled, temporary job settings may be cleared during the operation. Make sure to reconfigure the settings if they are cleared.
