Printer features

You can use your new printer to perform the following functions:

lEnlarge or reduce documents. Use the HP ZoomSmart feature to resize your documents.

lTile pages. Enlarge and print a page in sections and on different sheets of paper. Then use the sheets of paper like tiles to form a large poster.

lCreate handouts. Print a multiple-page document on a single sheet of paper (up to 16 pages per sheet). Each page image is reduced in size.

lCreate a booklet. Print and collate a multiple-page document by printing two pages on each side of the paper. For example, an eight-page document is printed with pages 1 and 8 on the same side of the paper and pages 2 and 7 on the other side of the paper. Fold the printout in half to create a booklet.

lPrint a mirror image. Use this feature to print the reflected image of a page. When printing on transparencies, the printed side will be face down on the projector. The other side can then be written on and cleaned off without damaging the printed side.

lPerform duplexing. Print on both sides of the page with the auto- duplex unit. You can also perform duplexing manually if you do not have the auto-duplex unit installed. When you select manual
