About Duplex Printing Duplex (double-sided) printing can be done with this printer, which has the duplex unit built in as a standard. If the paper has low opacity (high translu- cency), then the printed data from one side of the page will show through to the other side.
Page 126 In addition, if “Combination” has been set to “Booklet”, autoduplex printing is performed. The following Order settings are available when “Booklet” is selected. Load plain paper into the tray. From the printer driver, specify duplex (double-sided) printing (Layout tab in Windows). Click OK.
Page 127: Output Tray
Output Tray All media is fed out facing down into the output tray on the left side of the machine. This tray has a capacity of approximately 250 sheets (A4/Letter) of 80 g/m paper. If the media is stacked too high in the output tray, your machine may experience media misfeeds, excessive media curl, or static buildup.
Page 128: Media Storage
Media Storage Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to load it. Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up too much and cause misfeeding. If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original pack- aging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.

Introduction Note Any damage to the machine caused by the use of accessories not manufactured or supported by Epson will void your warranty. This chapter provides information about the following accessories. Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM) Tray 3 Hard Disk Drive Note The hard disk drive cannot be installed to be used at the same time.
Page 279: Antistatic Protection
Antistatic Protection Note It’s very important to protect the printer controller board from electrostatic damage while performing any task involving the controller board. Turn off all power switches first. If an antistatic wrist strap is provided in your printer option kit, attach one end of it to your wrist and the other end to the bare metal chassis on the back of your printer.
Page 280: Dual In-Line Memory Module (Dimm)
Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM) You may need additional memory (DIMM) for complex graphics and for duplex (double-sided) printing. This machine detects only half of the amount of the installed memory. Dual in-line memory module (or DIMM) is compact circuit board with surface-mount memory chips.

Installing Tray 3 Note Since consumables are installed in the machine, be sure to keep the machine level when moving it in order to prevent accidental spills. Turn off the machine and discon- nect the power cord and inter- face cables. Prepare the lower feeder unit.
Page 289 With another person’s help, place the machine on top of the lower feeder unit, making sure that the positioning pins on the lower feeder unit correctly fit into the holes on the bottom of the machine. WARNING! This machine weighs approximately 55 kg (121 lb) when it is fully loaded with consumables.
