Canceling a print job

zFor Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x, double-click the desktop printer icon, select the print job, and then click Trash.

zFor Mac OS OS X, click the Print Center icon. In the Printer List dialog box, double-click the printer icon. In the HP Business Inkjet 1100 dialog box, select the print job and click Delete.

Printing on both sides (duplexing)

You can print on both sides of a sheet of paper automatically using the auto-duplex unit. This is called automatic duplexing. To print on both sides of a page, you must specify duplex options in your application or in the printer driver.

Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page

When printing on both sides of the page using the optional auto-duplex unit, use the following guidelines:

zThe auto-duplex unit supports the following paper sizes: letter, legal, executive, A4, and ISO B5. It does not support smaller sizes or custom sizes.

Minimum width: 3 inches (100 mm)

Maximum width: 8.5 inches (216 mm)

Minimum length: 5 inches (148 mm) Maximum length 11.7 inches (292 mm)

zTo print on both sides of paper, make the selection from the application or printer driver. See “Performing automatic duplexing”.

zThe minimum top margin should be at least 0.5 inch (12 mm).

zDo not print on both sides of transparencies, banner media, envelopes, plain premium

inkjet paper, photo paper, brochure paper, glossy media, or paper lighter than 16 lb bond (60 g/m2) or heavier than 24 lb bond (90 g/m2). Jams might occur with these types of media.

zSeveral kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page, such as letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and prepunched holes. The auto-duplex unit prints the second side of paper first. For Tray 1 and Tray 2, load the paper with the front side facing down.
