Printer features (Windows and Macintosh)

You can use your printer to perform the following functions:

￿Enlarge or reduce documents. Use the HP ZoomSmart feature to resize your documents.

￿Tile pages. Enlarge and print a page in sections and on different sheets of paper. Then use the sheets of paper like tiles to form a large poster.

￿Create handouts. Print a multiple-page document on a single sheet of paper (up to 9 pages per sheet for Windows, up to 12 for Macintosh). Each page image is reduced in size.

￿Create a booklet. Print and collate a multiple-page document by printing two pages on each side of the paper. For example, an eight-page document is printed with pages 1 and 8 on the same side of the paper and pages 2 and 7 on the other side of the paper. Fold the printout in half to create a booklet.

￿Print a mirror image. Use this feature to print the reflected image of a page. When printing on transparencies, the printed side will be faced down on the projector. The other side can then be written on and cleaned off without damaging the printed side.

￿Perform two-sided printing. Print on both sides of the page when you select Two-Sided Printing (Duplex) from the printer driver (Windows) or Print Both Sides (Macintosh).
