HOW TO PRINT ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE PAPER
The easiest way to save paper is to print on both sides of it. Just put 
the paper through the printer twice: Select a two-sided printing option 
and follow the directions on your screen.
1
Load the paper in the IN drawer.
Make sure there’s no paper in the OUT tray.
2
In the HP print settings box, click the 
Features
 tab. (See page 9 to find 
out how to get to the HP print settings box.)
3
Then click 
Book
 or 
Tablet
.
4
Print your document.
The printer automatically prints only the odd-numbered pages. The 
printer then displays a message on your computer screen telling you 
how to reload the paper.

PAPER THAT WON’T 
SHOW THROUGH
Look for any paper 
in which pictures and 
text printed on one 
side don’t show 
through on the other. 
Collect sample sheets 
that are 24-pound (90 
gsm) or heavier, and 
test them to make 
sure they do the job.
What If
THE SECOND SIDE 
PRINTED LIKE THIS:
• You might have 
selected 
Tablet
 
instead of 
Book
 
in the HP print 
settings box. 
(See step 3.)
• You might have for-
gotten to rotate 
the paper after the 
first side printed. 
Print the document 
again, carefully fol-
lowing the directions 
on your screen.
