2-sided (duplex) printing

 

The printer can print on both sides of the paper. If the printer is not equipped with automatic

 

2-sided printing, see Manual 2-sided printing.

 

Automatic 2-sided printing (available for the HP Color

 

LaserJet 3700dn and 3700dtn printers)

 

You must specify automatic 2-sided printing options in your software application or in the

NOTE

 

printer driver in order to print on both sides of the page.

Perform the following to use automatic 2-sided printing:

●Verify that the printer driver is configured for 2-sided printing. (For instructions, see the online Help for the printer driver.)

●Select the appropriate 2-sided printing options in the printer driver software. 2-sided printing options include page and binding orientation.

●2-sided printing is not supported for certain media types, including transparencies, labels, cardstock, and glossy film.

●For best results, avoid 2-sided printing with rough-textured, heavy-weight paper.

●When using 2-sided printing, load preprinted forms and letterhead into Tray 2 and Tray 3 first side up, top edge toward the back of the tray. To load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 1, load them with the first side down, bottom edge in first.

 

Control panel settings for automatic 2-sided printing

 

Many software applications allow you to change 2-sided printing settings. If your software

 

application or printer driver does not allow you to adjust 2-sided printing settings, you can

 

adjust these settings through the control panel. The factory default setting is OFF.

 

Do not use 2-sided printing when printing on labels, transparencies, or glossy paper. Serious

CAUTION

 

damage to the printer may result.
