HP 4500 N manual Control Panel Settings for Duplex Printing

To use the duplex printing accessory successfully:

●Be sure that the duplex printing accessory is installed correctly. If the 500-sheet paper feeder (Tray 3) is installed, the duplex unit must be positioned between the printer and Tray 3.

●Verify that the printer driver is configured to recognize the duplex printing accessory. (For instructions, see the online Help for the printer driver.)

●Close the door to the rear output bin. The rear output bin is located at the back of the printer.

●Select the appropriate duplex options in the printer driver software. Duplex options include the page and binding orientation.

●Duplex printing is not supported for certain media types, including transparencies, labels, and cardstock.

Control Panel Settings for Duplex Printing

Many software applications allow you to change duplex printing settings. If your software application or printer driver does not allow you to adjust duplex printing settings, you can adjust these settings through the control panel.

CAUTION Do not open the door to the rear output bin during duplex printing. Doing so can cause jams or misprints.
