Print on both sides (duplexing)

You can print on both sides of a sheet of media either manually or automatically, by using the duplexer.

NOTE: The printer driver does not support manual duplexing. Two-sided printing requires an HP Automatic Two-sided Printing Accessory to be installed on the device.

Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page

•Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more information, see Understand specifications for supported media.

•Specify two-sided printing options in your application or in the printer driver.

•Do not print on both sides of transparencies, envelopes, photo paper, glossy media, or paper lighter than 16 lb bond (60 g/m2) or heavier than 28 lb bond (105 g/ m2). Jams might occur with these media types.

•Several kinds of media require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page. These include letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and prepunched holes. When you print from a computer running Windows, the device prints the first side of the media first. Load the media with the print side facing down.
