NOTE The duplex unit is an optional accessory that is available for the
HP Photosmart Pro B8300 series printer. It may be purchased separately in some
countries/regions (see
HP supplies and accessories.)
To make automatically printing on both sides the default setting for your printer, see
Changing
print settings.
You can also access this feature from the Printing Shortcuts tab. Open the printer driver, select
the Printing Shortcuts tab, and select the feature from the What do you want to do? drop-
down list.
For Windows 2000 and Windows XP, verify that the duplex unit is installed and that the
auto-duplex feature is enabled. Open the print driver, select Properties, and then select Device
Settings. Be sure Allow Manual Duplexing is disabled.
