Duplex module — 65

DUPLEX MODULE

If a duplex module is installed, printing on to both sides of paper can be performed. Two types of duplex 
modules are available: duplex module/bypass tray and duplex module. The descriptions in this manual 
are for the duplex module/bypass tray.

Part names 

Exit tray

The tray is extendable to support large size paper.

Extend the tray when 11" x 17", 8½" x 14", 8½" x 13", A3 or B4 paper is being used.

Bypass tray

This tray can also be used for special papers including transparency film. 

• Automatic two-sided printing can only be done on plain paper.

Special papers cannot be used for two-sided printing. 

• Do not press down on the bypass tray or the exit tray. 

• The duplex module requires the installation of other peripheral devices in order to be functional and

cannot be installed together with some other devices. See the compatible specifications table.
