Printing on both sides of sheets

This section explains how to print on both sides of each page using the printer driver.

Important

  • Duplex printing is not possible if the paper types listed below are specified. If you want to perform duplex printing, select a paper type other than those listed below:

    • Thick Paper, Special Paper, OHP (Transparency), Envelope, Color Paper, Preprinted Paper

    • Custom Size paper

1Create a document using an appropriate application. Then, in the application's [File] menu, click [Printing Preferences...].

The [Printing Preferences] dialog box appears.

2To use an existing Custom Setting, click the icon in the [Custom Setting name:] box.

If you do not wish to modify a custom setting that is already registered in the printer driver, change settings such as paper size and source tray as required, and then proceed to step 10.

3Click [Add/Change Custom Settings...].

4Click the [Edit] tab, if it is not already selected.

5Select the [Duplex/Booklet] check box.

6Click the icon of the page opening direction that you require.

If you want to add binding margins, select the [Header/Footer/Adjust image position/Binding margins] check box, and then click [Details...].

7Specify the margins on the front and back sides, and then click [OK].

8Change any other print settings if necessary, and then click [Save As...].

If you are modifying an existing setting and want to overwrite the previous setting, click the [Save] button and then proceed to step 10.

9In the [Custom Setting name:] box, enter an appropriate name for the settings, and then click [OK].

10Click [OK] to close the printer preferences dialog box.

11Print the document using the print function in the document's native application.

Note

  • If the document contains pages with different original sizes, page breaks may occur.
