To achieve the best print quality when printing on the second side of the page, the product needs to make adjustments to its print modes. When you select a media type, you are, in effect, instructing the product to use a group of settings (such as fuser temperature and print speed) to print the media with the best possible quality. This group of settings is known as print mode. A different print mode is used with each media type. Print-mode adjustments for the second side of a duplexed page are automatic. Manually printing on both sides ● Manually Print on 2nd Side is not selected Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box to for media types that are not available when using the automatic duplexing unit, such as cardstock and thick media. Manually printing on the second side of a page is available when you are using the HP PCL 6, PCL 5, or the PS emulation unidriver. If manual duplexing is enabled in the driver, the product automatically prints on both sides of media types that are supported for automatic duplexing (Letter, A4, Legal, 8.5 x 13, and Executive (JIS) only), and forces manual printing on both sides for media types that are not supported. Select the media type that corresponds to the media you are using for the print job. The following media types have a different print modes when you manually print on the second side: ● Plain ● Preprinted ● Letterhead ● Prepunched ● Bond ● Recycled ● Colored ● Rough NOTE To make the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box available in the document options, select the Allow Manual Duplexing option on the Device Settings tab in the Properties print-driver tabs. See Installable Options in the Device Settings section of this chapter. If you want to print on both sides manually while using media that is supported by automatic duplexing, you must select and apply the Not Installed setting on the Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing) option on the Device Settings tab. Cardstock media can be manually printed on the second side, but there is no change to the print mode. Transparencies and labels should not be manually printed on the second side. To print a multiple-page document, follow these steps: 1. Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box. 2. Click OK. The even-number pages of the document print. 3. When the control panel shows the MANUALLY FEED message, insert the stack of media (on which the even-number pages have been printed) as indicated in the following figure.
