Printing on Both Sides of Paper
You can print on both sides of a sheet of paper. Before printing,
decide how you want your document oriented.
The options are:
• None
• Long Edge , which is the conventional layout used in
book binding.
• Short Edge , which is the type often used with calendars.
N OTE :
• Do not print on both sides of labels, transparencies,
envelopes, or thick paper. Paper jamming and damage to the
printer may result.
