    How to make a 2 sided copy from a 2 sided document

    • Go to ‘print settings’ on the main menu
    • Scroll down to ‘2-sided’
    • Pick an option that isn’t ‘off’ (2-2 will give you a 2 sided copy from a scanned 2 sided document)
    • Place the 2 sided document that you want copied onto the very top tray and select your color for ‘start’.
    • Hopefully that worked.
