4. If a finisher is attached, follow these steps:
●
The graphic and instructions for manual duplex are correct for use with long-edge feed media.
Rotate the stack with the short edge as the axis, and place in the manual-feed tray. Even-
numbered pages should be face up, with long-edge feed.
●
If short-edge feed media is used (letter-R, for example), flip the media as shown in the graphic
(short edge as the axis), and also rotate the stack 90 degrees counterclockwise and then
place in Tray 1. Even-numbered pages should be face up, with long-edge feed, even though
the paper started out as short-edge feed.
5. If a finisher is not attached follow these steps:
●
For long-edge feed paper, rotate the stack with the long edge as the axis, and place in the
manual-feed tray. Even-numbered pages should be face up, with long-edge feed.
●
For short-edge feed paper, flip the media as shown in the graphic, but also rotate the stack
90 degrees counterclockwise and then place in Tray 1. Even-numbered pages should be face
up, with long-edge feed, even though the paper started out as short-edge feed.
Flip pages up
Use the Flip pages up check box to specify the duplex-binding option. By default, the Flip pages up
check box is not available. It is available only when Print on both sides is selected. The following table
demonstrates the results of selecting this check box, depending on the paper orientation selected on
the Finishing tab.

Portrait Short-edge binding Long-edge binding
Landscape Long-edge binding Short-edge binding
When Print on both sides is selected, the document preview image changes to show a spiral binding
along either the left edge or the top edge of the page. In addition, a folded-over corner appears in the
lower-right portion of the preview image, indicating that printing occurs on the back side. An arrow on
the folded-over corner points in the direction that the pages would be flipped if they were bound together.
Short-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by flipping over like the pages of a calendar.
Long-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by turning like the pages of a book.
Booklet layout
The Booklet Layout drop-down menu, visible when Print on Both Sides is selected, offers choices
that are based on the current paper size. The default setting for the Booklet Printing drop-down menu
is Off. The other settings have the following format, where [paper size] depends on the paper size that
is set on the Paper/Quality tab:
●
Left Edge Binding
●
Right Edge Binding
When you select Left Edge Binding or Right Edge Binding, the document preview image changes to
show the location of the binding. If the Pages per Sheet setting is on the default setting of 1, it
automatically changes to 2 pages per sheet. If you change the Pages per Sheet setting manually to
