How do I autoduplex?

You should verify that the duplex option is physically installed on the printer to
have the job duplex successfully. If you send a duplex print job, while the
duplexer is not installed, the control panel message window will display
‘DUPLEX UNIT/NOT INSTALLED’.

Your printer is configured with 32 MB of RAM. Duplex (2-sided) printing can
be done automatically with a duplex option and enough memory installed,
and with a duplex option selected in the printer. For example, a 1200 x 600
dpi duplex legal-size monochrome page can be duplexed with 32 MB RAM
for a standard business document, or it could require 64 MB of SDRAM or
more for very high coverage (for example high content and graphics) pages.
Additional memory can be added up to 288 MB. Very high coverage pages
may revert to 600 dpi when duplex printing if enough memory is not installed.
The standard 32 MB RAM will allow printing of most standard color business
documents at 2400 x 600 dpi. The chart below shows the minimum RAM
required to print full-page coverage such as a full-page-size photograph.

Check your application to determine how to set your margins for duplex
printing.
