Insert Slip Sheet and Print by Specifying the Page and Paper Source in the 2-Sided Printing Settings

You can insert a slip sheet and print by specifying the page and paper source. This section uses the procedure for inserting a slip sheet before pages 3 and 8 and printing pages 6 and 7 on different colored paper as shown in the figure as an example.

Note that you cannot specify same page for the slip sheet and the paper to be printed using the page and paper source. Also, some pages may be printed on one side depending on the settings.
