HP (Hewlett-Packard) 2840 Printer User Manual


 
Print on both sides of the paper
To manually print on both sides of the paper, you must send the paper through the device
twice. You can print by using the media output bin or the straight-through output path.
Hewlett-Packard recommends that you use the media output bin for lightweight paper and
use the straight-through output path for any heavy media or media that curls excessively
when printed.
CAUTION
Do not print on both sides of labels or transparencies. Damage to the device and jams might
result.
1. Insert enough paper into one of the trays to accommodate the print job. If you are
loading special paper such as letterhead, load it in one of these ways.
For tray 1, load the letterhead paper with the front side down, and the bottom edge
leading into the device first.
For optional tray 2, load the letterhead paper with the front side up, and the top edge
toward the back of the tray.
