HP Color LaserJet 5550 Printer series - Manual (Page 114)

● For best results, avoid two-sided printing with rough-textured, heavy-weight media.
● When duplexing preprinted media such as letterhead or forms, load the paper the
opposite of that when duplexing simplex. Place the media face down in Trays 2, 3, 4, or
5. Place special media face up in Tray 1. (This process is different than the process for
one-sided printing.)
Control panel settings for automatic two-sided printing
Many software applications allow you to change two-sided printing settings. If your software
application or printer driver does not allow you to adjust two-sided printing settings, you can
adjust these settings through the control panel. The factory default setting is OFF.
CAUTION Do not use two-sided printing when printing on labels. Serious damage to the printer may
result.
To enable or disable two-sided printing from the printer control panel
Note Changing settings for two-sided printing through the printer control panel affects all print
jobs. Whenever possible, change settings for two-sided printing through your software
application or printer driver.
