Options for binding two-sided printing jobs
Before printing a two-sided document, use the printer driver to choose the edge on which you will
bind your finished document. Long-edge or book binding is the conventional layout used in book
binding. Short-edge or tablet binding is the typical calendar binding.
NOTE The default binding setting is to bind on the long edge when the page is set up for
portrait orientation. To change to long-edge binding, click the Flip Pages Up check box.

from top to bottom on the left page, then from top to bottom on the

Manual two-sided printing
If you want to print on two sides (duplex) on paper other than the supported sizes or weights (for
example, paper heavier than 120 g/m
2
(32 lb) or very thin paper), you will have to go to the printer
and reinsert the paper manually after the first side has printed.
NOTE Damaged or previously used paper can cause paper jams and should not be used.
