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 The HP LaserJet P3005 printer supports 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. The smart duplexing feature is available for all media types, except for those that cannot be printed on both sides and certain others. Media types that are not supported are shown in the following list: ● Labels ● Envelopes ● Transparency ● 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 a mode or print mode, and a different print mode is used with each media type. Print-mode adjustments are automatic when the duplexing unit is used. Manually printing 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, this is the only setting available for duplex printing. Use the Print on Both Sides (Manually) 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 Traditional PCL 6 Driver or the HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver. (The PS Emulation Driver does not support this feature.) If a duplexing unit is installed and manual duplexing is enabled in the driver, the device 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 check box on the Configure tab in the Properties print-driver tabs. If you want to print on both sides manually while using media that is supported for automatic duplexing, you must click to clear the Duplexing Unit check box on the Configure tab. 120 Chapter 4 HP traditional print drivers for MS Windows ENWW

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
The HP LaserJet P3005 printer supports 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.
The smart duplexing feature is available for all media types, except for those that cannot be printed on
both sides and certain others. Media types that are not supported are shown in the following list:
Labels
Envelopes
Transparency
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 a mode or print mode, and a different print mode is
used with each media type. Print-mode adjustments are automatic when the duplexing unit is used.
Manually printing 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,
this is the only setting available for duplex printing. Use the
Print on Both Sides (Manually)
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 Traditional PCL 6 Driver or the
HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver. (The PS Emulation Driver does not support this feature.) If a duplexing unit
is installed and manual duplexing is enabled in the driver, the device 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
check box on the
Configure
tab in the Properties print-driver tabs.
If you want to print on both sides manually while using media that is supported for automatic duplexing,
you must click to clear the
Duplexing Unit
check box on the
Configure
tab.
