Before you use the optional duplexer, ensure that the printer driver is set to recognize it. (You need to set this setting only once. See the printer driver online Help for details.)

To print on both sides of paper, make the selection in your program or the printer driver. (See the printer driver online Help.)

If you do not use the printer driver that came with the printer, you might need to change the duplex setting at the printer control panel, set DUPLEX=ON on the Printing submenu (on the Configure Device menu). Also on the Printing submenu, set DUPLEX BINDING to LONG EDGE or SHORT EDGE. (For more information, see “Layout options for printing both sides of paper” on page 67.)

The rear output bin must be closed to use the optional duplexer. (See “Selecting the output bin” on page 36.) Opening the rear output bin disables the optional duplexer.

HP does not recommend manually duplexing by printing one side of a page, and then feeding the page through the printer again to print the other side. When printing using the optional duplexer, the printer automatically makes necessary adjustments to reduce jams and print-quality problems. If paper is refed through the printer, the printer is not able to make these adjustments.
