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 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 96. If you have a print quality 

problem, see 

Improving the print quality

 on page 105.

Manual duplex printing

„

The BR-Script printer driver (PostScript

®

 3™ emulation) does not support manual duplex printing.

„

Use plain paper or recycled paper. Do not use bond paper.
