Options for binding two-sided printing jobs

Before printing a two-sided document, use the printer driver to choose the edge on which you will bind
your finished document. Long-edge or book binding is the conventional layout used in book binding.
Short-edge or tablet binding is the typical calendar binding.

NOTE

The default binding setting is to bind on the long edge when the page is set up for portrait

orientation. To change to long-edge binding, click the Flip Pages Up check box.

Manual two-sided printing

If you want to print on two sides (duplex) on paper other than the supported sizes or weights (for example,
paper heavier than 120 g/m

2

(32 lb) or very thin paper), you will have to go to the MFP and reinsert the

paper manually after the first side has printed.

NOTE

Damaged or previously used paper can cause paper jams and should not be used.

NOTE

Manual two-sided printing is not supported for Windows 98/Me systems that use the PS

driver.

Ensure that the printer driver is configured to allow manual duplexing. In the printer driver,

setting, click the Finishing tab, and select the Flip pages up check box.

Click OK. The Print on Both Sides instructions will appear. Follow the instructions to finish printing
your document.

duplex jobs, feed the top 100 sheets and press
