Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper

„

If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.

„

If paper is curled, flatten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the manual feed slot.

„

If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it.

„

When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality. 
(If there is a paper jam, see 

Paper jams and how to clear them

on page 85. If you have a print quality 

problem, see 

Improving the print quality

on page 91.)
