Two-sided (duplex) printing
Some printer models are capable of duplex printing (printing on both sides of a page). To find out which
models support automatic duplexing, see 
Printer basics. All printer models support manual duplexing.
NOTEYou must specify two-sided printing options in your software application or in the printer
driver in order to print on both sides of the page. If this option is not visible in the software
application or printer driver, use the following information to make duplex printing options
available.
To use two-sided printing:
● Verify that the printer driver is configured to show the two-sided printing options: automatic and/or
manual. For instructions, see the online Help for the printer driver. For more information, see 
Printer
drivers
 or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers .
● Once the two-sided printing option is shown, select the appropriate two-sided printing options in
the printer driver software. Two-sided printing options include page and binding orientation. For
more information about options for binding two-sided printing jobs, see 
Options for binding two-
sided printing jobs
.
● Automatic two-sided printing is not supported for certain media types, including transparencies,
envelopes, labels, heavy, extra heavy, cardstock, and HP Tough paper. (The maximum weight
paper for automatic duplex printing is 120 g/m
2 (32 lb) bond.)
● Automatic two-sided printing supports letter, A4, 8.5 x 13, legal, executive, and JIS B5 paper sizes.
● Manual two-sided printing can support all sizes and more types of media. (Transparencies,
envelopes, and labels are not supported.)
● If both automatic and manual two-sided printing are enabled, the printer will automatically print on
two sides if the size and type are supported by the duplexer. Otherwise, it will manually duplex.
● For best results, avoid two-sided printing with rough-textured, heavy-weight media.
● To load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 1, load them face up with the top edge of the
page facing away from you.
● When duplex printing, load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 2 or optional Tray 3 face
down with the top edge of the page towards you.
NOTE
Loading paper for duplexing is different than loading for one-sided printing.

NOTEThe default binding setting is to bind on the long edge when the page is set up for portrait
orientation. To change to long-edge binding, click the  Flip Pages Up check box.
1Long-edge landscape1This 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.
2Short-edge landscapeEach 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.
3Long-edge portraitThis 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.
4Short-edge portrait1This layout is often used with clipboards. Every other printed image is
oriented upside-down. Facing pages ar e read continuously from top to
bottom.

Special printing situations
Use these guidelines when printing on special types of media.
Printing a different first page
Use the following procedure to print the first page of a document on a different media type than the rest
of the document, for example, to print the first page of a document on letterhead paper and the rest on
plain paper.
1.From your application or printer driver, specify a tray for the first page and another tray for the
remaining pages.
For more information, see 
Printer drivers  or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers .
2. Load the special media into the tray that you specified in step 1.
3. Load the media for the remaining pages of the document into another tray.
You can also print on different media by using the printer control panel or printer driver to set the types
of media that are loaded in the trays and then selecting the first and remaining pages by media type.
Printing a blank back cover
Use the following procedure to print a blank back cover. You can also select an alternate paper source
or print on a different media type than the rest of the document.
1. On the printer driver’s  Paper tab, select  Use different paper , then from the drop-down list,
select  Back Cover , check Add a blank back cover , and then click OK.
2. For more information, see 
Printer drivers  or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers .
You can also select an alternate paper source or print a blank back cover on a different media type than
the rest of the document. If desired, select a di fferent source and type from the drop-down lists.
Printing on custom-size media
The printer supports single-sided printing on custom-size media. Tray 1 supports media sizes from
76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) to 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches). Tray 2 and optional Tray 3 support media
sizes from 148 x 210 mm (5.83 x 8.27 inches) (A5 size) to 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).
When printing on custom-size media, if Tray 1 is configured in the printer control panel as  TRAY X
TYPE= ANY TYPE  and TRAY X SIZE= ANY SIZE , the printer will print on whatever media is loaded in
the tray. When printing on custom-size media from Tray 2 or optional Tray 3, adjust the switch on the
tray to the  custom position, and from the control panel, set the media size to  custom or ANY
CUSTOM .
In some software programs and printer drivers, you can specify custom paper-size dimensions. You can
configure custom paper sizes from the printer driver’s  Paper tab or  Forms tab (Windows 2000 and
Windows XP). Be sure to set the correct paper size in both the  Page Setup and Print  dialog boxes.
For more information about how to access the printer drivers, see 
Printer drivers  or Printer drivers for
Macintosh computers .
If your software application requires you to calculate margins for custom-size paper, see the online Help
for that application.
