### Print on Both Sides of the Paper (Windows®)

- If paper is curled, straighten it and put it back in the paper tray.
- If the paper is too thin, it may wrinkle.
- When you use the manual 2-sided printing function, it is possible there may be paper jams or poor print quality.

1. Select the print command in your application.
2. Select Lenovo MXXXX (where XXXX is the name of your model), and then click the printing properties or preferences button.
   The printer driver window appears.
3. Click the Basic tab.
4. In the Orientation field, select either Portrait or Landscape option to set the orientation of your printout.

   If your application software contains a similar layout feature, we recommend using the one in the application.

5. Click the 2-sided / Booklet drop-down list, and then select the 2-sided (Manual) option.

   Option | Description
   2-sided (Manual) | The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the printer driver instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper.

6. Click the 2-sided Settings button.
7. Select one of the options from the 2-sided Type menu.
   When 2-sided is selected, four types of 2-sided binding are available for each orientation:

   Option for Portrait | Description
   Long Edge (Left) |
   Long Edge (Right) |
   Short Edge (Top) |
   Short Edge (Bottom) |

   Option for Landscape | Description
   Long Edge (Top) |
   Long Edge (Bottom) |
   Short Edge (Right) |
   Short Edge (Left) |

8. Select the Binding Offset check box if you want to specify the offset for binding in inches or millimetres.
9. Click OK.
10. Change other printer settings if needed.
11. Click OK again and follow the screen instructions.

If the paper is not feeding correctly, it may be curled. Remove the paper, straighten it, and put it back in the paper tray.
