Printing on both sides of the media (manual duplexing)

 

To print on both sides of the media (manual duplexing), you must send the media through the

 

device twice. You can print by using the normal output path or the straight-through media

 

path. Hewlett-Packard recommends that you use the normal output path for lightweight paper

 

and use the straight-through media path for any heavy media or media that curls when it is

 

printed.

 

See the following topics for more information:

The printer driver also contains instructions and graphics for manually dupexing.

Note

 

Manual duplexing can cause the device to become dirty, which reduces print quality. If the

 

device becomes dirty, see Cleaning and maintenance for instructions.
