Automatic 2-Sided Printing

Your printer must be a 6250DP, 6250DT, or 6250DX to perform automatic 2-sided printing.

Guidelines

To print a 2-sided document, verify that you are using the following weight ranges:

Caution

DO NOT use any specialty media, envelopes, or labels for automatic 2-sided printing.

Damage caused by automatically printing specialty media using the duplex unit is not

covered under the Xerox warranty, service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee.

For best results with automatic 2-sided printing, do not use heavy toner coverage on the even-

numbered pages of your print job.

To perform automatic 2-sided printing:

1. Insert paper into the tray. For more information see the “Basic Printing” topic in this

section. Place the side to be printed with the odd-numbered pages face down with the top

of the page at the back of the tray. If using paper with pre-punched holes, place the holes

toward the right side of the tray when you are facing the front panel.

Caution

If you change the type of paper in a tray, you must change the paper type on the front

panel to match the paper that you loaded. If you fail to do this, print-quality

problems can occur and the fuser can be damaged.

2. In the printer driver:

■Select the appropriate tray.

■Select the orientation.

■Select 2-sided printing as described in the table below.

3. Click OK to accept the printer driver settings, then click OK to print.

Manual 2-Sided Printing

Guidelines

If the printer does not have automatic 2-sided printing capability, or you want to print on a

paper type that cannot be automatically printed on two sides, print manually on both sides of

the paper by following the procedures in this section.

■Use any tray for manual 2-sided printing.

■For best opacity and feed reliability, use Plain Paper that is 90 g/m2(24 lb. Bond) or

heavier paper.

■Increase the top margin on side 1 to at least 12 mm (0.48 in.).

■You must print all the odd-numbered pages first. Reinsert the printed pages in the same

tray from which the odd-numbered pages were taken, then print the even-numbered pages.

■Do not use heavy toner coverage on side 1 of a manual 2-sided print job.

■2-sided printing on specialty paper can shorten the life of printer components.

Print quality may be degraded on the second side of manual 2-sided printing jobs. For best

results, follow the prompt on the front panel to perform manual 2-sided printing (duplex

printing).
