Duplex Printing
Follow the steps below to toggle the Duplex Printing option in the printer driver. This option allows you to print on both sides of a page.
You can also set duplex printing in Additional Features on the Quick Setup tab.
-
Open the printer driver setup window.
-
Check the Duplex Printing (Manual) check box on the Page Setup tab.
If you uncheck this box, Duplex Printing (Manual) will be disabled.
-
Select Normal-size, Fit-to-Page, Scaled, or Page Layout from the Page Layout list.
-
The best Stapling Side is selected automatically from the Orientation and Page Layout settings. To change the setting, select another stapling side from the list.
-
If necessary, click Specify Margin... and set the margin width, and then select OK.
-
Select OK on the Page Setup tab.
When you print, the document is first printed on one side of a sheet of paper. After one side is printed, reload the paper correctly according to the message.
Then select Start Printing to print the opposite side.
When a media type other than Plain Paper is selected from Media Type on the Main tab, Duplex Printing (Manual) appears grayed out and is unavailable.
When Borderless, Tiling/Poster or Booklet is selected from the Page Layout list, Duplex Printing (Manual) and Stapling Side appear grayed out and are unavailable.
If the back side of the paper becomes smudged during duplex printing, perform Bottom Plate Cleaning in the Canon IJ Printer Assistant Tool.
