Copy on Both Sides of the Paper (1-sided to 2-sided/2-sided to 2-sided)

Reduce the amount of paper you use by copying onto both sides of the paper.
Follow the steps below to use the 2-sided(duplex) copy feature:

  • We recommend loading single-sided documents in the ADF (automatic document feeder) for 2-sided copying. (ADF models only)
     
  • For 2-sided documents use the scanner glass.
     
  • You can use only A4, A5, Letter, or Executive* size plain paper.
    *: Only available some countries.
  1. Load your document.
     
  2. Press COPY(COPY).
     
  3. Enter the number of copies you want.
     
  4. To sort multiple copies, do the following.

     

    1. Press the Up or Down arrow key to choose Stack/Sort, and then press OK.
    2. Press the Up or Down arrow key to choose Sort, and then press OK.
  5. Press the Up or Down arrow key to choose 2-sided Copy, and then press OK.
     
  6. Press the Up or Down arrow key to choose 2-sided Copy once again, and then press OK.
     
  7. Press the Up or Down arrow key to choose the option you want to choose, and then press OK.
     
  8. Press Black (Mono) Start or Color (Colour) Start. If you placed the document in the ADF (ADF models only), the machine scans the pages and starts printing.
    If you are using the scanner glass, go to the next step.
     
  9. After the machine scans the page, place the next page on the scanner glass. Press 1 to scan. The machine starts printing.
     
  10. If you chose the Sort, repeat the previous step for each page. After all the pages have been scanned, press 2. The machine starts printing.

DO NOT touch the printed page until it is ejected the second time. The machine will print the first side and eject the paper, and then pull the paper in to print the second side.

If you get a paper jam, press the Up or Down arrow key to choose Advanced after STEP 5, and then press OK.
Press the Up or Down arrow key to choose one of the jam prevention settings: 2-sided1 or 2-sided2, and then press OK.

 

  • 2-sided1 uses a longer print time for the ink to dry.
  • 2-sided2 uses a longer print time and will also print in lighter colors.
