Manually printing on both sides

Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box to print on the second side of the media for the
HP Color LaserJet 2605 printer, which does not have a duplexing unit installed. Also select the Print
on Both Sides (Manually) check box on the HP Color LaserJet 2605dn and the HP Color
LaserJet 2605dtn printers for media types that are not available when using the automatic duplexing
unit, such as cardstock and thick media.
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 (A3, A4, B4(JIS), Letter,
Legal, and 8.5x13 only), and media types that are not supported.
To achieve the best print quality when printing on the second side of the page, the printer makes
adjustments to its print modes. When you select a media type, you are, in effect, instructing the printer
to use a group of settings (such as fuser temperature and print speed) to print the media with the best
possible quality. 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.
Select the media type that corresponds to the media you are using for the print job. The following media
types have a different print mode when you manually print on the second side:
●
Plain
● Preprinted
●
Letterhead

Prepunched

Cardstock media can be manually printed on the second side, but there is no change to the print
mode. Transparencies and Labels should not be manually printed on the second side.
