Paper orientation for manual duplex printing

The printer prints the second page first.

If you print 10 pages on 5 sheets of paper, it will print page 2 then page 1 on the first sheet of paper.

It will print page 4 then page 3 on the second sheet of paper.

It will print page 6 then page 5 on the third sheet of paper, and so on.

When doing manual duplex printing, the paper must be put in the paper tray in the following way:

•

For the manual feed slot:

•	Put the side to be printed on first, face-up, with the leading edge (top) of the paper in first.
•	To print the second side, put the paper face down, with the leading edge (top) of the paper in first.
•	If letterhead paper is used, this would be put in with the heading face down, and in first.
•	To print the second side, put the heading face up and in first.

•

For the paper tray:

•	Put the side to be printed on first, face down, with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the front of the tray.
•	To print the second side, put the paper face up, with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the front of the tray.
•	If letterhead paper is used, this would be put in the paper tray with the heading face up, and at the front of the tray.
