The duplexing unit in the product prints on two sides of a sheet of paper when the Print On Both
Sides option is specified in the print job.
To achieve the best print quality when printing on the second side of the page, the product makes
adjustments to its print modes. Selecting a media type, in effect instructs the product to use a group of
settings (such as fuser temperature and print speed) to create an image that has the best possible quality
for that media. This group of settings is known as print mode. A different print mode is used with each
media type. Print-mode adjustments for the second side of a duplexed page are automatic.
Flip pages up
Use the Flip pages up check box to specify the duplex-binding option. By default, the Flip pages up
check box is available only when the Print On Both Sides option is selected.
The following table demonstrates the results of selecting this check box, depending on the media
orientation selected on the Finishing tab.

When the Print On Both Sides option is selected, the document preview image changes to show a
spiral binding along either the left edge or the top edge of the page. In addition, a folded-over corner
appears in the lower-right portion of the preview image, indicating that printing occurs on the back side.
An arrow on the folded-over corner points in the direction that the pages would be flipped if they were
bound together.
Short-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by flipping over like the pages of a calendar.
Long-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by turning like the pages of a book.
