PAPER THAT WON’T SHOW THROUGH

Look for any paper in which pictures and text printed on one side don’t show through on the other. Collect sample sheets that are 24-pound (90 gsm) or heavier, and test them to make sure they do the job.

What If

THE SECOND SIDE PRINTED LIKE THIS:

•You might have selected Tablet instead of Book in the HP print settings box. (See step 3.)

•You might have for- gotten to rotate the paper after the ﬁrst side printed. Print the document again, carefully fol- lowing the directions on your screen.

12 HOW TO PRINT ON

BOTH SIDES OF THE PAPER

The easiest way to save paper is to print on both sides of it. Just put the paper through the printer twice: Select a two-sided printing option and follow the directions on your screen.

1Load the paper in the IN drawer.

Make sure there’s no paper in the OUT tray.

2In the HP print settings box, click the Features tab. (See page 9 to ﬁnd out how to get to the HP print settings box.)

3Then click Book or Tablet.

Click the Features tab.

Click Tablet so the sheets can be bound at the top.

Click Book so the sheets can be bound on the left.

4Print your document.

The printer automatically prints only the odd-numbered pages. The printer then displays a message on your computer screen telling you how to reload the paper.
