Printing on both sides of sheets

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

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

Create a document using an appropriate application. Then, in the application's [File] menu, click [Printing Preferences...].
The [Printing Preferences] dialog box appears.
To 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.
Click [Add/Change Custom Settings...].
Click the [Edit] tab, if it is not already selected.
Select the [Duplex/Booklet] check box.
Click 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...].
Specify the margins on the front and back sides, and then click [OK].
Change 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.
In the [Custom Setting name:] box, enter an appropriate name for the settings, and then click [OK].
Click [OK] to close the printer preferences dialog box.
Print the document using the print function in the document's native application.

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