You can store a maximum of 25 user-defined Print Task Quick Sets on a particular system. If you attempt to save too many, a message box appears that reads, "There are too many Print Task Quick Sets defined. Please delete some before adding new ones." Document Options Print on Both Sides option The default setting for the Print on Both Sides option is OFF (not selected). Print on Both Sides is available when the following conditions exist: • Type is on the Paper tab is not set to Transparency, Cardstock, or Labels. • Size is is Letter, Legal, A4, A5, B5 (Japanese Industry Standard, or JIS), Executive, or custom sizes greater than or equal to 76 mm by 127 mm (3.0 inches by 5.0 inches) and less than or equal to 148 mm by 216 mm (8.5 inches by 14.0 inches). When Paper Size is set to Letter, Legal, or A4, clicking Print on Both Sides makes the Flip Pages Up and Booklet Printing options available. Automatically printing on both sides Use the duplexing unit in the printer to automatically print on two sides of the paper when that option is specified in the job (available on HP LaserJet 2300d, 2300dn, and 2300dtn, but not available on the HP LaserJet 2300, 2300L, and 2300n printers). To achieve the best print quality when printing on the second side of the page, the printer needs to make adjustments to its print modes. When you select a media type, you are, in effect, instructing the printer to use a group of printer settings (such as fuser temperature and print speed) to print the media with the best possible quality. This group of settings is known as a mode or print mode, and a different print mode associated with each media type. Print-mode adjustments are automatic when the duplexing unit is used. Media sizes supported by the duplexing unit are Letter, A4, Legal, 8.5 x 13, and Executive (JIS) only. All other media sizes must be duplexed manually. The following media types cannot be automatically duplexed: • Transparencies • Labels • Heavy media • Envelopes • Cardstock greater than 164 g/m2 Caution Do not use the manual duplex function for transparencies or labels. Duplexing transparencies or labels can damage the printer. Manually printing on the both sides Manually printing on the second side of a page is available when you are using the HP traditional PCL 5e or PCL 6 driver (the HP traditional PS driver and the HP PCL 5e, PCL 6, and PS unidrivers do not support the feature). If a duplexing unit is installed and manual duplexing is enabled in the driver, the printer automatically duplexes media types that are supported by 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. It is important to select the paper 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 60 HP traditional PCL 5e and PCL 6 driver features Software Technical Reference
