Printing on both sides of the paper (manual two-sided printing)

Note

Note

To print on both sides of the paper (manual two-sided printing), you must run the paper through the printer twice. You can print using the top output bin or the straight-through output door. Hewlett-Packard recommends that you use the top output bin for lightweight paper and use the straight-through output path for any heavy media or media that curls when printed.

This feature is not supported in Mac OS X.

Manual two-sided printing can cause the printer to become dirty, reducing print quality. See Cleaning the printer for instructions if the printer becomes dirty.
