When copying from the
bypass tray, the area
around a solid color image
is slightly stained in
images located on the
back side of a 2-sided
copy.
A misalignment occurred in
the output of the back side
because of dry sheet as a
result of low humidity.
For thick paper, copy the back side by
selecting “(BACK)” for paper type.
For plain paper, make 2-sided copy using the
automatic duplexing unit. If the automatic
duplexing unit is not installed, copy the back
side by selecting “RECYCLED PAPER” for
paper type.
For details on the paper types when copying
from the bypass tray, refer to Chapter 2 of the
Copying Guide.
