Printing on both sides of paper

When using a Windows-compatible computer or a Macintosh- compatible computer, this option is not available with the PostScript printer driver that is provided with the product.

To print on both sides of the paper (manual duplexing), you must run the paper through the printer twice. You can print using the paper output bin or the straight-through output path. HP recommends using the paper output bin for light-weight paper. Use the straight-through output path for any heavy media or media that tends to curl when printed, such as envelopes and card stock.

Manual duplexing can cause the printer to become dirty more quickly and reduce print quality. See “Cleaning the printer” if the printer becomes dirty.

The four print orientation options are shown below. These options are available when Print on Both Sides (Manually) is selected from the printer driver.
