Print on both sides (duplexing)
You can print on both sides of a sheet of paper automatically using the automatic two-sided printing
accessory (duplexer).
NOTE: Two-sided printing requires an automatic two-sided printing accessory (duplexer) to be
installed on the printer.
NOTE: You can perform manual duplexing by first printing only the odd pages, flipping the pages
over, and then printing only the even pages.
