16 Exactly.  I tried that with my old printers and every time at least one
17 sheet would fail.  Then you have to print those two sheets again at
18 least, that is if you caught it and didn't ruin the other sheets as
19 well.  I may have had it work a few times but generally, I'd end up
20 wasting more paper trying than I would just printing one side and being
21 done with it.

23 Still a nifty feature especially since it does it automatically.  Sort
24 of neat watching it spit it out, pull it back in, do the other side and
25 spit it out again.  lol
