Printing on Both Sides of Paper (Duplexing)
The printer can automatically print on both sides of paper. This is
called duplexing or two-sided printing.
The duplexer supports letter, A4, 8.5 x 13, and legal paper sizes.
If you want to duplex paper other than the supported sizes or weights
(for example, paper heavier than 105 g/m
2
(28 lb) or very thin paper),
you will have to go to the printer and reinsert the paper manually after
the first side has printed. You will also have to reinsert the paper
manually if you select Straight Paper Path in your printer driver.
Follow the instructions in the driver.
Guidelines for Printing Both Sides of Paper
CAUTION Do not print on both sides of labels, transparencies, or vellum.
Damage to the printer and paper jamming might result.
To print on both sides of paper, make the selection from your software
application or printer driver (select Print on Both Sides from the
Finishing tab). For non-Windows operating systems, this feature
may be available through HP Web JetAdmin (see HP Web JetAdmin).
Note When using the built-in duplexer, the paper you are printing will partially
come out of the top output bin. Do not grab the paper until duplexing
is complete.
