is received for the job. Duplexed jobs print on both sides of the paper.

- No
- Duplexed printing is not active. The job prints on a single side of the paper. This is also called simplexed printing.
- Yes
- Normal duplexed printing is active. The job prints on both sides of the paper, with the long side of the paper as the bound edge. This is the orientation that most books use.
- Tumble
