FAQs & Troubleshooting

Print on both sides of the paper.

 

The supplied printer drivers for Windows 95/98/Me, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000/XP all allow manual 2-sided(duplex) printing.

 

You should use plain paper and recycled paper. Do not use bond paper.

 

 

 

[Manual 2-sided(duplex) printing from the paper tray]

 

  1. From the Advanced tab in the printer driver, choose the Manual Duplex printing mode, and from the Basic tab, choose the Paper Source to be Auto Select or Tray1.
  2. The printer will automatically print all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first.
  3. Remove the printed even-numbered pages from the output tray and put them back in the paper tray, placing the paper with the side that is going to be printed on (blank side) face down. Follow the instructions on the computer screen.
  1. The printer will now automatically print all the odd-numbered pages on the other side of the paper.

When you put paper in the paper tray, first empty the tray then put the printed pages in the tray, with the printed side face up. (Do not add the printed pages to the top of of a stack of unprinted paper.)
