Printing on both sides of the media (manual duplexing) Note To print on both sides of the media (manual duplexing), you must send the media through the device twice. You can print by using the normal output path or the straight-through media path. Hewlett-Packard recommends that you use the normal output path for lightweight paper and use the straight-through media path for any heavy media or media that curls when it is printed. See the following topics for more information: To duplex manually on lightweight media To duplex manually on heavy media or card stock (straight-through media path) The printer driver also contains instructions and graphics for manually dupexing. Manual duplexing can cause the device to become dirty, which reduces print quality. If the device becomes dirty, see Cleaning and maintenance for instructions.
