Duplex Printers - Double-Sided Printing Solutions

Not all printers support automatic duplex printing. Only printers equipped with an automatic document duplexer can print both sides without manual intervention. Sharp MFPs and laser printers from Southern Office Machines feature built-in automatic duplex printing, making double-sided output seamless. Manual duplex is possible on some basic models but requires you to reload paper.

Duplex printers use an internal duplexing unit that automatically flips the page after printing the first side, then feeds it back through the print engine to print the second side. Sharp MFPs manage this process electronically through the print driver and device firmware, ensuring accurate alignment, consistent quality, and efficient throughput on both sides of the page.

Yes — Sharp multifunction printers and laser printers distributed by Southern Office Machines support automatic two-sided (duplex) printing. This capability is available across color MFPs, black-and-white MFPs, and production printers. Duplex printing reduces paper consumption by up to 50%, lowering costs and supporting sustainability goals for offices of all sizes.

Simplex printing outputs content on one side of the paper only, while duplex printing outputs on both sides. Automatic duplex printing — available on Sharp MFPs — handles both sides without manual paper reloading. Duplex printing cuts paper usage significantly, reduces supply costs, and produces more professional-looking documents such as booklets, reports, and brochures.

Southern Office Machines offers Sharp duplex printers ranging from standard office speeds to high-volume production output. Color MFPs are available from 25 to 70 pages per minute, ensuring fast double-sided output even in demanding corporate, healthcare, or government environments. Specific speed ratings vary by model; contact us for a recommendation matched to your volume needs.
