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.
This section contains the following topics:
• Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page
• Perform duplexing
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/m
2 ) or heavier than 28 lb bond (105 g/
m 2 ). 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.
