1-Sided to 2-Sided Printing

This feature enables you to print two successive pages of a file stored in a mail box onto both sides of a sheet of paper.

Remark
  • For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Combination of Functions Chart."
  • You may not be able to make two-sided prints on some types of paper, depending on the paper.
  • Paper used to make two-sided prints must conform to the following specifications:
  • Paper size: 13" × 19", 12 5/8" × 17 11/16", 12" × 18", 11" × 17", LGL, LTR, LTRR, EXEC, STMTR, or Custom Size (5 1/2" × 7 1/8" to 13" × 19 13/64" (139.7 mm × 182.0 mm to 330.2 mm × 487.7 mm))
    (envelopes cannot be used for two-sided printing)
  • Paper weight: 14 lb bond to 80 lb cover (52 to 220 g/m2)
  • If there are an odd number of pages in a file, the back side of the last print is left blank. (The machine's counter does not count the blank page as a print.)
  • If the 2-Sided Printing mode is used together with the Auto Select Paper mode, and the pages that you want to print are of different size, the different sized documents will be printed as one-sided prints on paper of their respective sizes. If you want such pages to be printed as two-sided documents, select the desired paper size beforehand.
  • To cancel this setting, press [2-Sided Printing] → [Cancel].
