Duplex Print

Multiple Up Print

When you have multiple pages to print, you can use the duplex feature of the computer to print on either side of paper to save paper consumption.

For more information, see “Duplex Printing” on page 140.

With the Multiple Up print feature of the printer, you can print multiple pages on a single sheet of paper to save paper consumption.

For more information, see the print driver's help.

Print media loaded in the PSI is given precedence over the media in the paper tray. Using the PSI, you can print on print media of another type or size preferentially over the regular media in the paper tray.

For more information, see “Loading Print Media in the Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI)” on page 132.

With the wireless LAN feature of the printer, you can place your printer at any location and print from a computer without cabling.

For more information, see “Configuring Wireless Network Settings (AL-MX200DWF only)” on page 54.
