Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper

2

If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.

If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the MP tray.

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 148. If you have a print quality 

problem, see 

Improving the print quality

on page 160.)
