Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper
2
If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the MP tray.
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 148. If you have a print quality
problem, see Improving the print quality on page 160.)

• Use Letter, Legal or Folio size paper when you use the automatic duplex printing function.
• Make sure that the back cover is closed.
• Make sure that the paper tray is completely inserted into the printer.
• If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray.
