Manual 2-sided printing (for Windows only)

Manual standard 2-sided printing allows you to print the even-numbered pages first. Once these pages are printed, you can reload them to print the odd-numbered pages onto the opposite side of the paper.

Manual folded booklet 2-sided printing allows you to make single-fold booklets. The pages that will appear on the inside (after the page is folded) are printed first. The pages that will appear outside the booklet can then be printed after you reload the paper into the printer as shown in the illustration below.

Single-fold booklet

* : Binding edge

You can create a booklet by printing pages 2 and 3 on the first sheet of paper, pages 6 and 7 on the second sheet, and pages 10 and 11 on the third sheet.

After you reload these sheets into the paper cassette, you can then print pages 1 and 4 on the back of the first sheet of paper, pages 5 and 8 on the back of the second sheet, and pages 9 and 12 on the back of the third sheet.

The resulting pages can then be folded and bound together into a booklet.
