Manually printing on both sides
To manually print on both sides of the paper, you must send the paper through the printer twice. You
can print by using the media output bin or the straight-through output path. HP recommends that you
use the media output bin for lightweight paper and use the straight-through output path for any heavy
media or media that curls excessively when printed.
Follow these steps to print on both sides manually:
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 these ways.
● For tray 1, load the letterhead paper with the front side down, and the bottom edge leading into
the printer first.
● For optional tray 2, load the letterhead paper with the front side up, and the top edge toward
the back of the tray.
2 in the print driver, select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) option and send the job to print.
3 After the job finishes printing, remove any blank paper from tray 1. Insert the printed stack, with the
blank side up, and the top edge leading into the printer. Print the second side from tray 1.
4 Press E

to continue printing.
NOTE The PS Emulation Driver does not support manual duplexing. For Mac OS 9, you must
perform a custom driver installation and select the plug-in for manual duplexing. Mac OS X does
not support manual duplexing.

When Print on Both Sides (Manually) is selected, the document preview image changes to show a
spiral binding along either the left or the top edge of the page. In addition, a folded-over corner appears
in the lower-right portion of the preview image, indicating that printing will occur on the back side. An
arrow on the folded-over corner points in the direction that the pages would be flipped if they were bound
together.
