2-sided (duplex) printing
The printer can print on both sides of the paper. If the printer is not equipped with automatic
2-sided printing, see
Automatic 2-sided printing (available for the hp color
LaserJet 3700dn and 3700dtn printers)
Note
You must specify automatic 2-sided printing options in your software application or in the
printer driver in order to print on both sides of the page.
Perform the following to use automatic 2-sided printing:
●
Verify that the printer driver is configured for 2-sided printing. (For instructions, see the
online Help for the printer driver.)
●
Select the appropriate 2-sided printing options in the printer driver software. 2-sided
printing options include page and binding orientation.
●
2-sided printing is not supported for certain media types, including transparencies, labels,
cardstock, and glossy film.
●
For best results, avoid 2-sided printing with rough-textured, heavy-weight paper.
●
When using 2-sided printing, load preprinted forms and letterhead into Tray 2 and Tray 3
first side up, top edge toward the back of the tray. To load pre-printed forms and
letterhead into Tray 1, load them with the first side down, bottom edge in first.
Control panel settings for automatic 2-sided printing
Many software applications allow you to change 2-sided printing settings. If your software
application or printer driver does not allow you to adjust 2-sided printing settings, you can
adjust these settings through the control panel. The factory default setting is OFF.
CAUTION
Do not use 2-sided printing when printing on labels, transparencies, or glossy paper. Serious
damage to the printer may result.
