1. Long-edge landscape 1 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.

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/m 2 (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.
