Printing on Both Sides of Paper (Duplexing)
The HP LaserJet 2200d, 2200dt, 2200dn, and 2200dtn printers can
automatically print on both sides of paper. This is called duplexing or
two-sided printing. (The HP LaserJet 2200 printer supports manual
duplexing.)
The duplexer supports letter, A4, 8.5 x 13, and legal paper sizes.
If you want to duplex paper other than the supported sizes or weights
(for example, paper heavier than 105 g/m
2
(28 lb) or very thin paper),
you will have to go to the printer and reinsert the paper manually after
the first side has printed. You will also have to reinsert the paper
manually if you select Straight Paper Path in your printer driver.
Follow the instructions in the driver.
CAUTION
Do not print on both sides of labels, transparencies, or vellum.
Damage to the printer and paper jamming might result.
Automatic Duplexing (Printing Both Sides of Paper)
To print on both sides of paper, make the selection from your software
application or printer driver (select Print on Both Sides from the
Finishing tab). For non-Windows operating systems, this feature
may be available through HP Web JetAdmin (see HP Web JetAdmin).
Note
When using the built-in duplexer, the paper you are printing will partially
come out of the top output bin. Do not grab the paper until duplexing
is complete.
Note
For automatic duplexing, the duplexer will not function if the rear output
bin is open.
