Preface 12
Epson AcuLaser MX14 Series User’s Guide
Manual Duplex Print
Duplex print is to print two or more pages on the
front and back sides of a single sheet of paper
manually. This feature allows you to reduce the
paper consumption.
For more information, see “Manual Duplex
Printing (Windows Print Driver Only)” on
page 90.
Scanning to a USB Storage Device
Multiple Up (2-in-1 Copy)
Multiple Up copy enables you to print multiple
pages on a single sheet of paper. This feature
allows you to reduce the paper consumption.
For more information, see “Multiple Up” on
page 128.
Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI)
You do not need a computer to connect your
USB storage device to save the scanned data.
Insert your USB storage device in the port on the
printer, and save the scanned data directly to
your USB storage device.
For more information, see “Scanning to a USB
Storage Device” on page 163.
Print media loaded on the PSI is given
precedence over those loaded on the
multipurpose feeder (MPF). Using the PSI
allows you to use other types or sizes of print
media preferentially over the regular print
media loaded on the MPF.
For more information, see “Loading Print
Media in the Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI)” on
page 85.
