Making a two-sided (duplex) copy

Making a two-sided (duplex) copy automatically

The automatic duplex unit supports A4- and letter-size paper. If you need to make two-sided copies using other paper sizes, then see the instructions for making a two-sided copy manually.

Note: You cannot make two-sided copies on envelopes, card stock, or photo paper.

  1. Load paper.

  2. Load the original document faceup into the ADF or facedown on the scanner glass.

  3. From the printer control panel, navigate to:

    the home button > Copy > the select button > 2-Sided Copies

  4. Press the left or right arrow button to select a two-sided copying option:

    • If you are copying a one-sided document, then press the arrow buttons to scroll to 1-sided to 2-sided.

    • If you are copying a two-sided document and using the scanner glass, then press the arrow buttons to scroll to 2-sided to 2-sided.

    • If you want to specify the page orientation and layout of the original document and the copy, then press the arrow buttons to scroll to Advanced. Press the select button every time you make a selection, and then press the back button until you reach the Copy menu screen.

    Notes:

    • For long-edged binding, pages are bound along the long edge of the page (left edge for portrait orientation and top edge for landscape orientation).
    • For short-edged binding, pages are bound along the short edge of the page (top edge for portrait orientation and left edge for landscape orientation).

  5. Press start button, and then follow the instructions on the display.
