printing guidelines
• The printer automatically prints odd-numbered pages first. Once the
odd-numbered pages are printed, a message appears prompting you
to reload the paper so that the even-numbered pages can be printed.
• If you have purchased the HP Two-Sided Printing Accessory, you can
print both sides of the paper automatically. Follow the directions
included with that product.
(The HP Two-Sided Printing Accessory
cannot be used with all printers.)
For best results use hp products.
