To print on both sides

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 tray 2, load the letterhead paper with first side up, top edge toward the back of the tray.

2.

Open the printer driver (see

Gaining access to printer driver settings on page 49

).

3.

On the Finishing tab, select Print on Both Sides.

4.

Click OK.

5.

Send the print job to the printer.

6.

Go to the printer. Remove any blank paper that is in tray 1. Insert the printed stack with the blank
side up, with the top-edge feeding into the printer first. You must print the second side from tray 1.

7.

If prompted by a message at the control panel-display, press .

NOTE:

If the number of total sheets exceeds the tray 1 capacity for duplex jobs, you must repeat steps

6 and 7 each time that paper is inserted, until the duplexing job is complete.

CAUTION:

Hewlett-Packard recommends manually reusing sheets only through tray 1. Do not reuse

sheets through tray 2, as this can cause jams and print-quality problems.
