The MP610 does support duplex printing.
Duplex Printing
The duplex printing function allows you to print data on both sides of a sheet of paper.
The procedure for performing duplex printing is as follows:
Performing automatic duplex printing
You can perform the duplex printing without having to turn over the paper.
1. Open the printer driver setup window, check the
Duplex Printing check box, and confirm that
Automatic is checked.
2. Select
Normal-size Printing (or
Fit-to-Page Printing,
Scaled Printing or
Page Layout Printing) from the
Page Layout list.
3. When printing a document that has small margins, click
Print Area Setup... and set the print area.
When you perform duplex printing, the print area of the document becomes slightly narrower than usual and the document may not fit on one page.
To print without reducing the page:
Select
Use normal-size printing.
To reduce the page slightly during printing:
Select
Use reduced printing.
4. Specify
Staple Side.
The printer analyzes the
Orientation and
Page Layout settings, and automatically selects the best staple position. Check the
Staple Side setting. If you want to change the setting, select another value from the list.
5. If necessary, click
Specify Margin... and set the
Margin width.
6. Click
OK.
Duplex printing will be started.

Page Layout list.
3. Specify

If a media type other than

When you execute print, the document will be printed on one side of a sheet of paper. When printing is complete, reload paper according to the displayed message and then click
OK. The document will be printed on the opposite side.
If
Photo Paper Plus Double Sided is selected for
Media Type on the
Main tab:
When you execute print, the document will be printed front and back alternately for one sheet at a time. Load the paper according to the displayed messages.
Note
Duplex Printing is unavailable when:
- A media type other than
Plain Paper,
Photo Paper Plus Double Sided or
Hagaki is selected from the
Media Type list.
-
Poster Printing is selected from the
Page Layout list.
When
Booklet Printing is selected from the
Page Layout list,
Duplex Printing and
Staple Side appear grayed out and are unavailable.
After printing the front page, there is an ink drying wait time before starting to print the back page (Operation stops temporarily). Do not touch the paper during the time. You can change the
Ink Drying Wait Time at
Custom Settings on the
Maintenance tab of the printer driver.
When you perform the automatic duplex printing for Hagaki, print an address first and then print your message.
Tip
If you select
Photo Paper Plus Double Sided for
Media Type on the
Main tab, the
Duplex Printing check box on the
Page Setup tab is not checked automatically. To perform duplex printing, check the
Duplex Printing check box.
If the
Media Type dialog box appears when performing borderless printing during duplex printing, select
Plain Paper or
Photo Paper Plus Double Sided.
When performing the automatic duplex printing, do not use any plain paper smaller than A5. Also, do not select any type of paper other than
Plain Paper,
Photo Paper Plus Double Sided or
Hagaki at
Media Type.
Photo Paper Plus Double Sided is highly recommended for printing photographs on both sides of a page.
If the back side of the paper becomes smudged during duplex printing, perform
Bottom Plate Cleaning in the
Maintenance tab.
