Description

You can use the Duplex Printing (Manual) option to print on both sides of a page with the PIXMA G1230 / G2270 / G3270 / G4270 on a Windows PC.

Solution

Duplex Printing

Duplex printing allows you to print on both sides of a single sheet of paper.

Follow the steps below to enable this function.

 You can also set duplex printing on the Page Setup tab.

  1. Open the printer driver setup window.

  2. Select 2-sided Printing (Manual) on the Page Setup tab.

  3. Select the desired layout from the Basic Settings list.

  4. Specify the side to be stapled.

    The best Stapling Side is selected automatically from Binding Location. To change the setting, select another stapling side from the list.

  5. 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 or Poster is selected from the Page Layout list, Duplex Printing (Manual) and Stapling Side 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.
