Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper
2
„ If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
„ If paper is curled, flatten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the manual feed slot.
„ If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it.
„ When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality.
(If there is a paper jam, see Paper jams and how to clear them on page 85. If you have a print quality
problem, see Improving the print quality on page 91.)
