The two possible types of binding are long-edgebinding, in which pages are joined together along their longedge; and short-edge binding, in which they are joined to-gether along their short edge. In selecting a binding type,you must also consider the orientation of the printed page.You can use long-edge or short-edge binding with eitherlandscape or portrait printing.Depending on the binding type and print orientation, the du-plex unit provides four types of binding setups. These are: (1)portrait, long-edge, (2) portrait, short edge, (3) landscape,long-edge, and (4) landscape, short-edge.
