Print on Both Sides of the Paper Manually (Manual 2-sided Printing) (Windows)

The machine prints all the odd-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, a pop-up message on your computer screen instructs you to reload the odd pages into the machine so it can print the even-numbered pages.

 

Print Both Side

  • Before reloading the paper, fan and straighten it to avoid paper jams.
  • Very thin or thick paper is not recommended.
  • If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
  • The 2-sided printing function may not be suitable for all types of documents and images. If you experience repeat paper jams or poor print quality during 2-sided printing, we recommend using 1-sided printing.
  1. Select the print command in your application.
  2. Select Brother [model name] Printer, and then click the printing properties or preferences button.
