Automatic Duplex Printing (MFC-6890CDW only)

The supplied printer driver supports duplex printing. Check Duplex/Booklet if you want to use the duplex (two-sided) printing feature. In this mode, the machine prints on both sides of the paper automatically.

Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper

•
The Duplex/Booklet function supports Plain Paper for the Media Type and Tray 1 as the Paper Source only.
•
If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
•
If the paper is curled, flatten it and then put it back in the paper tray.
•
If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it.

Booklet Printing
Booklet Printing lets you print a document as a booklet. For example: If you want to print a 4 pages file as a booklet, the machine will automatically print page 4 and page 1 on the same side of the paper first and then page 2 and page 3 on the other side of the paper. To make the booklet, fold the printed page down the middle.
Duplex Type
There are six types of automatic duplex binding directions available for each orientation.
Binding Offset
If you check the Binding Offset option, you can also specify the offset for binding in inches or millimeters.
Note Note
When you use the duplex printing function, Duplex 1 or Duplex 2 features may help to reduce paper feed problems. Go to Advanced tab of the printer driver and then click the Other Print Options button. From the Printer Function menu, choose Advanced Duplex Settings.
