2-Sided Copying

Solution

2-Sided Copying

The 2-Sided Copying mode enables you to make 2-sided copies from 1-sided documents, or make 1-sided copies from 2-sided documents. This feature is useful especially when copying in large quantities because paper costs can be reduced by half.

The default setting is <OFF>.

note:
  • 2 to 2-Sided and 2 to 1-Sided copying are available only for the D480.
  • Paper used to make 2-sided copies must conform to the following specifications:

- Paper size: LTR and A4 (envelopes cannot be used for 2-sided copying)

- Paper weight: 17 to 21 lb (64 to 80 g/sq.m.)
