Duplex printing is a feature of computerprinters that allows the automatic printing of a sheet of paper on both sides. Most printers can only print on a single side of paper ('simplex') automatically. Duplex printers work by using a special Reversing Automatic Document Feeder (RADF), or a duplexing unit that reverses a piece of paper after the first side has been printed. This works in combination with a software solution on the computer that is printing to allow printing on both sides of the paper. Duplex printing is normally built-in to special double-sided printers; however some printers, e.g. the HP LaserJet 4, can be upgraded later on to duplex capability.
