NOTE As a rule, extra memory is not needed on the HP LaserJet P3005 printer in order to print on both sides. However, very complex double-sided print jobs might require additional memory. Topics: ● Automatically print on both sides ● Manually print on both sides Automatically print on both sides The duplexing unit in the device prints on two sides of a sheet of paper when the Print on Both Sides option is specified in the print job. The HP LaserJet P3005 printer comes with a duplexing unit installed in the following models: ● HP LaserJet P3005dn ● HP LaserJet P3005x These printer models support smart duplexing. The smart duplexing feature increases printing performance by preventing one-page print jobs or single-sided pages of a duplexed print job from going through the duplexing unit even when the duplexing feature has been selected in the driver. All media types support the smart duplexing feature, except for media types that cannot be printed on both sides (such as labels, transparencies, and envelopes) and the following media types: ● Prepunched ● Preprinted ● Letterhead When the media type is set to Unspecified, the smart duplexing feature is disabled. To achieve the best print quality when printing on the second side of the page, the printer makes adjustments to its print modes. Selecting a media type in effect instructs the printer to use a group of settings (such as fuser temperature and print speed) to create an image that has the best possible quality for that media. 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 print on both sides Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box to print on the second side of the media because the HP LaserJet P3005 and HP LaserJet P3005n printer models do not have a duplexing unit installed. AUse this setting on the other HP LaserJet P3005 printer models for media types that the automatic duplexing unit does not support, such as cardstock and thick media. Manually printing on the second side of a page is available in the HP PCL 6, PCL 5, or PS emulation unidriver. If a duplexing unit is installed and manual duplexing is enabled in the driver, the printer automatically prints on both sides of media types that are supported for automatic duplexing (Letter, A4, Legal, and 8.5 x 13 only), and forces manual printing on both sides for media types that are not supported. 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. 240 Chapter 5 HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation unidrivers for MS Windows ENWW

NOTE
As a rule, extra memory is not needed on the HP LaserJet P3005 printer in order to print
on both sides. However, very complex double-sided print jobs might require additional memory.
Topics:
Automatically print on both sides
Manually print on both sides
Automatically print on both sides
The duplexing unit in the device prints on two sides of a sheet of paper when the
Print on Both
Sides
option is specified in the print job. The HP LaserJet P3005 printer comes with a duplexing unit
installed in the following models:
HP LaserJet P3005dn
HP LaserJet P3005x
These printer models support smart duplexing. The smart duplexing feature increases printing
performance by preventing one-page print jobs or single-sided pages of a duplexed print job from going
through the duplexing unit even when the duplexing feature has been selected in the driver.
All media types support the smart duplexing feature, except for media types that cannot be printed on
both sides (such as labels, transparencies, and envelopes) and the following media types:
Prepunched
Preprinted
Letterhead
When the media type is set to
Unspecified
, the smart duplexing feature is disabled.
To achieve the best print quality when printing on the second side of the page, the printer makes
adjustments to its print modes. Selecting a media type in effect instructs the printer to use a group of
settings (such as fuser temperature and print speed) to create an image that has the best possible quality
for that media. 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 print on both sides
Select the
Print on Both Sides (Manually)
check box to print on the second side of the media because
the HP LaserJet P3005 and HP LaserJet P3005n printer models do not have a duplexing unit installed.
AUse this setting on the other HP LaserJet P3005 printer models for media types that the automatic
duplexing unit does not support, such as cardstock and thick media.
Manually printing on the second side of a page is available in the HP PCL 6, PCL 5, or PS emulation
unidriver. If a duplexing unit is installed and manual duplexing is enabled in the driver, the printer
automatically prints on both sides of media types that are supported for automatic duplexing (Letter, A4,
Legal, and 8.5 x 13 only), and forces manual printing on both sides for media types that are not
supported.
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.
