Printing on both sides of sheets

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

Important

  • When loading paper in the printer paper trays or the paper feed units, load at least 20 sheets. Also, adjust the side guide so that it lightly touches the paper.

    • Curled paper: If the paper is curled, flatten the paper before loading it.

    • If you are using thick paper with a smooth surface, paper jams or multiple feeding can occur. Fan the paper before loading it. If a paper jam or multiple feeding occurs even after you have fanned the paper, set the paper one sheet at a time

1Create a document using an appropriate application. On the [File] menu, click [Printing Preference...].

2When using the existing Custom Setting, click the icon in the [Custom Setting name] box.

If you do not wish to modify the custom settings 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 desired icon to specify the direction which the pages open to.

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 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.

9Specify a name easily recognizable in the [Custom Setting name] box, and then click [OK].

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

11Print the document using the print function in the application.

Note

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