Looking to save paper and reduce clutter? Duplex printing (also known as 2-sided printing) is one of the easiest ways to cut costs and stay organized. Here’s how to set it up on your Sharp copier.

Method 1: Directly from the Copier (Copying)

If you’re making copies directly from the copier:

1. Place your document on the glass or in the document feeder.

2. Tap the Copy icon from the home screen.

3. Select the Duplex option.

4. Choose your layout:

   • 1-Sided → 2-Sided (for single-sided originals)

   • 2-Sided → 2-Sided (for double-sided originals)

5. Press Start to begin copying.

Method 2: Duplex Printing from a Computer

When printing from your computer:

1. Open the file and click Print.

2. Select your Sharp printer.

3. Click on Printer Properties or Preferences.

4. Find the 2-Sided Printing or Duplex option.

5. Choose either:

   • Long Edge (standard book-style flip)

   • Short Edge (flip from the top, like a notepad)

6. Click OK, then Print.

Why Use Duplex Printing?

• Saves paper — up to 50% on larger jobs

• Creates cleaner, more professional documents

• Reduces waste and supports eco-friendly practices

Additional Tips

• If the copier isn’t duplexing, check that it has a duplex unit installed.

• You can set duplex printing as the default in your printer settings for all jobs.
