Print on Both Sides of Letter or A4 Paper and Cut the Paper in Half
(Automatic 2-sided Printing and Cutting) (Windows)
Your machine automatically resizes Letter documents to fit Half Letter paper or leaves Half Letter documents in
their original size, prints them side-by-side on both sides of Letter paper, and cuts the paper in half.
This function is available for both Letter and A4 paper. In these instructions, substitute 'A4' for 'Letter' and
'A5' for 'Half Letter,' as applicable.
• Before printing, install your machine's printer driver on a computer connected to your machine. To install
the driver, go to your model's Downloads page at support.brother.com/downloads.
• Make sure the jam clear cover is closed.
• If paper is curled, straighten it and put it back in the paper tray.
• Use regular paper. DO NOT use bond paper.
• If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
You can print Letter or A4 documents without resizing both sides and still have the machine cut the paper in
half. Your machine prints two 2-sided Half Letter size printed pages - one featuring the top half of the
original document, and the other featuring the lower half of the original document.
