Copying on both sides of a single sheet of paper is called duplex copying.

Your Brother machine does not have a built-in duplex copying feature. However, you can manually make duplex copies by copying on one side of a sheet of paper, putting the printed page back into the machine's paper tray, then copying on the other side.

• If you want to make manual duplex copies from the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), go to Using the ADF.
   
• If you want to make manual duplex copies from the flat scanner glass, go to Using the flat scanner glass.
