Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper

If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.

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

You should use regular paper. Do not use bond paper.

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

Printing on both sides of the paper (manual duplex printing)

Manual duplex printing from the paper tray

Choose the Manual Duplex printing mode you need from the Advanced tab, and from the Basic 
tab select the Paper Source to be Tray1.

The printer will automatically print all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first.

Remove the printed even-numbered pages from the output tray and put them back in the paper tray,

The printer will now automatically print all the odd-numbered pages on the other side of the paper.

The PS driver does not support manual duplex printing.

If you select the Paper Source to be Auto Select in Step 1 using HL-5150D or HL-5170DN, please 
put the printed even-numbered pages in the MP tray.

When you put paper in the paper tray, first empty the tray then put the printed page in it, with the 
printed side face up. (Do not add the printed pages to the top of the stack of unprinted paper.)
