NOTE: The duplex unit is an optional accessory that is available for the HP Officejet K7100 series printer. It may be purchased separately in some countries/regions (see HP supplies and accessories on page 109.)

To make automatically printing on both sides the default setting for your printer, see Changing print settings on page 39.

You can also access this feature from the Printing Shortcuts tab. Open the printer driver, select the Printing Shortcuts tab, and select the feature from the What do you want to do? drop-down list.

For Windows 2000 and Windows XP, verify that the duplex unit is installed and that the auto-duplex feature is enabled. Open the print driver, select Properties, and then select Device Settings. Be sure Allow Manual Duplexing is disabled.
