Software settings selected in the print driver only apply to printing, they do not apply to copying or scanning.
You can print your document on both sides of the paper. For more information, see Print on both sides
(duplexing).
Printer settings tips (Windows)
● To change default print settings, open the HP printer software, click Print, Scan & Fax, and then click Set
Preferences. For information how to open the printer software, see Open the HP printer software
(Windows).
● To understand paper and paper tray settings:
– Paper Size: Select the paper size you loaded in the input tray.
– Media: Select the paper type you are using.
● To understand color or black and white settings:
– Color: Uses ink from all cartridges for full color prints.
– Black & White or Black Ink Only: Uses the black ink only for normal or lower quality black and
white prints.
– High Quality Grayscale: Uses ink from both the color and black cartridges to produce a wider range
of black and grey tones for high quality black and white prints.
● To understand print quality settings:
The print quality is measured in print resolution dots per inch (dpi). Higher dpi produces clearer and
more detailed prints, but slows print speed and might use more ink.
– Draft: Lowest dpi typically used when ink levels are low or when high quality prints are not needed.
– Better: Suitable for most print jobs.
– Best: Better dpi than Better.
– Max DPI Enabled: Highest dpi setting available for print quality.
● To understand page and layout settings:
– Orientation: Select Portrait for vertical prints or Landscape for horizontal prints.
– Print on Both Sides: Automatically ip the pages after one side of the paper prints out so that you
can print on both sides of the paper.
○ Flip on Long Edge: Select it if you want to ip pages by the long edge of the paper when
printing on both sides of the paper.
○ Flip on Short Edge: Select it if you want to ip pages by the short edge of the paper when
printing on both sides of the paper.
– Pages per Sheet: Helps you specify the order of the pages if you print the document with more
than two pages per sheet.
