Duplex Copies
REGAL 5790 MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE
The sections that follow provide specific techniques which should be
used for certain types of jobs in order to assure optimum feeding
performance and image quality.
Application Description & Expectations
Duplex (two-sided) copying refers to imaging on the second side of
a copy already made on the 5790 copier/printer. When using the
recommended 24 to 28 lb bond papers, feeding performance and
image quality will be good, but may not equal the performance and
quality of side 1.
Recommended Materials
Xerox 24 lb Image Series LX , 8.5 x 11" = 3R3874
Xerox 24 lb Image Series LX , 11 x 17" = 3R3877
Xerox 28 lb 4024 DP , 8.5 x 11" = 3R2353
Xerox 28 lb 4024 DP , 11 x 17" = 3R3873
Hammermill 28 lb Color Copy Paper , 8.5 x 11" = 10246-7

Steps for Success
1 For optimum image quality and copier/printer performance, use
the Special Side 1 and Special Side 2 buttons. This selection
improves the feeding performance, image quality (transfer), and
fusing performance (gloss) of Duplex Copies.
2 Run the side that has the least image area (or the black and white
side) first.
3 Load the paper for side 1 in the Paper Tray Bypass. Do not load
more than 25 sheets of paper when using the Special buttons.
4 Select the Special Side 1 button from the Paper Tray (Bypass)
screen to run side 1.
5 After running side 1, select the Special Side 2 button. (The
Special Side 2 button is not selectable until the document size
has been entered using the Size Input button, or the Special
Side 1 button has been used.)
6 Load the side 1 imaged copies/prints into the Paper Tray Bypass
with the imaged side down. The paper should be rotated 180 or
90 degrees from the side 1 position. (Example: Run the side 1
lead edge as the side 2 trail edge, or feed side 1 long-edge feed,
then side 2 short-edge feed. The document on the Document
Glass should also be rotated 90 degrees in the latter case.)
7 Run side 2 within 15 to 20 minutes of running side 1.
