1. Long-edge landscape1

 

This layout is often used in accounting, data processing, and spreadsheet

 

 

programs. Every other printed image is oriented upside-down. Facing pages are

 

 

read continuously from top to bottom.

 

 

 

2. Short-edge landscape

 

Each printed image is oriented right-side-up. Facing pages are read from top to

 

 

bottom on the left page, then from top to bottom on the right page.

 

 

 

3. Long-edge portrait

 

This is the default printer setting, and the most common layout used, with every

 

 

printed image oriented right-side-up. Facing pages are read from top to bottom on

 

 

the left page, then from top to bottom on the right page.

 

 

 

4. Short-edge portrait*

 

This layout is often used with clipboards. Every other printed image is oriented

 

 

upside-down. Facing pages are read continuously from top to bottom.

To print on both sides by using the built-in duplexer

The built-in duplexer is included only with the HP LaserJet 5200dtn printer. It is available as an accessory for the other models.

For best duplexing results, HP recommends 90 to 105 g/m2 (24 to 28 lb) media.

1.Insert enough paper into one of the trays to accommodate the print job. If you are loading special paper such as letterhead, load it in one of the following ways:

●For tray 1, load the letterhead paper with the front side down, bottom-edge first.

●For all other trays, load the letterhead paper with the front side facing up, and the top edge toward the back of the tray.

CAUTION Do not load paper that is heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond). Jamming could result.

2.Open the printer driver (see Gaining access to printer driver settings).

3.On the Finishing tab, select Print on Both Sides.
