Note

  • In copier mode:

    • For details about how to make two-sided copies, see "Duplex Copying", Basic Operations.

  • In printer mode:

    • To print on letterhead paper when [Auto Detect] is specified for [Letterhead Setting], you must specify [Letterhead] as the paper type in the printer driver's settings.

    • If a print job is changed partway through printing from one-sided to two-sided printing, one-sided output after the first copy may be printed facing a different direction. To ensure all paper is output facing the same direction, specify different input trays for one-sided and two-sided printing. Note also that two-sided printing must be disabled for the tray specified for one-sided printing.

    • For details about how to make two-sided prints, see "Printing on Both Sides of Sheets", Basic Operations.
