Duplex Printing for Officejet 5740

I recently purchased an Officejet All-In-One 5740 printer. I did not realize that automatic duplex was a default and not an option. I can't find a way to change to 1-sided print (there is no selection in Properties). Is there an allowance for 1-sided print for this model printer?
This question was solved.

Hi,
From the application used to print open teh Print dialog, then click on Properties / Settings / Preferences to access the Printing Preferences dialog.
Within the Layout tab set Two-Sided printing as Off, confirm the changes and try printing again.
Additionally from the Control Panel open Devices and Printersm right click the printer icon and select Printing Preferences.
Ensure the same that Two-Sided printing is disabled to ensure it is diabled by default.

How do I set up automatic duplex printing for my HP Laserjet Pro400 M401n series?

How do I set up automatic duplex printing for my HP Laserjet Pro400 M401n series from my PC using windows 8?

Thanks for your reply.
Looks like I didn't do enough research as the HP site said it's available however upon further investigation only manual duplexing is available with drivers installed.

Duplex printing for smartform

Hi,
Has anyone worked on Duplex printing for smartform? If yes, please tell me the procedure/steps that need to be taken for the same.
Thanks

Hi,
You can select Duplex printing in th epage properties of a page (D = Duplex)
The printer STARTS duplex printing from that page. This means that the printer triggers a pagefeed on that exact moment and starts printing on a new page. So when you have 1 page that stretches over more that one sheet of paper this means trouble. after every page the flow of the program starts a new Duplex print (thus feeding the current sheet and starts at a new page) this results in a new sheet of paper every page. this is not what you want.
You can solve this by creating 2 pages and set their respective NEXT PAGE to each other. Page 1 you set to DUplex, pagae 2 you leave blank..
But notice that when you select duplex printing most (if not all) printers start printing on the backside of the paper. When you use pre-printed (logo) paper, you will find that it prints the front on the back etc.
This can sometimes be corrected (if needed) by sending prescribe commands to the printer directly.
Good luck!

Duplex printing for LaserJet Pro 1100

Directions for manual duplex printing for LaserJet P1102w

Since this is not an auto duplex printer, you will need to go into your printer properties and set the allow manual duplex check box. Once you have set it there it will duplex all the time.
Start menu >Device and Printers Folder > Right click on the printer > choose printer preferences > finishing tab (I think that is what it is called, if not look for the tab that has...print on both sides (manually) or allow manually duplexing (Sorry, I don't have this printer hooked up to a test box or I would get you a screenshot )
If you want to only duplex certain jobs, then you can do this through the application at the time you pick your printer by selecting printer properties (located under your printer selection button) and setting it for only that one job.
Open application > File > Print > Printer Properties > finishing tab (steps are the same as above)
Just remember...
Box checked = duplex (default option so this should already be set unless you have unchecked it)
Box unchecked = not duplex
Last word of caution on these instructions...you may have some variation as I am going off my memory here....my printer is not hooked up.

Duplex printing with officejet pro 8000

I am using this officejet pro 8000 to print up some newsletters. When printing a two sided copy (duplex printing) something happens which changes my border setting. Printing the exact same document, but electing one-sided copy renders a perfect border. I would not have a problem copying just one side, then re-loading those in order to make two-sided copies, but the friction caused by the ink on the pages causes mulitple sheets to feed at the same time, jamming the printer. Has HP ever come up with a fix for this? I have seen this problem on the net, but the best folks have done (that I have seen) is to upload drivers for older machines. This has rendered good borders on duplex prints, but diminishes the quality of the print copy. Whatcha think?

Since updating to Snow Leopard, I have had serious problems duplexing. Under the print dialogue window, there is no option to duplex. H.P. blames Mac. Mac blames H.P. I can duplex by going to "layout" and where it says "duplexing off" selecting "long-edge binding" will work. How dumb. Mac Help senior customized my settings by adding "duplex printing" to the "Presets" list.
Are you using the latest drivers from HP? If I set up a printer with the HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 Series PPD, I can see Two-Sided to the right of Collated if the HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked in the Print & Fax -> Options & Supplies -> Driver tab. If this is not checked, Two-Sided won't appear.
MAC HAS TO CREATE A PATCH TO SIMPLIFY THIS SNOW LEOPARD ERROR!
Apple doesn't write the HP software.
Hope this helps.

DUPLEX PRINTING - HP Officejet 6500 E710a-f PRINTER

My HP Officejet 6500 E710a-f is fitted with a Gadget for Duplex Printing.
That notwithstanding, the Print Settings do not provide an option for automatic Duplex Printing. The Settings only provide for a "Print One Sided" under which there is a Sub-Option that provides for "Manually Print on Both Sides" with the Intruction "Reload Paper when prompted to print the second side".
Have I perhaps looked for the Duplex Printing Option at the wrong place OR would there perhaps be something wrong with my Printer/Software?
More to the point, do I need to do anything to activate the Duplex Printing capability??

Ensure that the driver knows that a duplex unit is present on the printer (assuming that one is):
For the printer instance in question, bring up the Printer properties dialogue.
Select the Device settings tab.
Ensure that the duplex unit is set to Installed rather than Not installed.

Efax for officejet 5740

how do I set up the fax to use efax?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi @billharlan
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you would like to learn how to setup your Officejet 5740 printer so any eFaxes your receive are printed.
I am presuming that you have connected your printer to your wireless network or it is connected by an ethernet cable to your router so the printer has internet access. I am also presuming that you have already subscribed to eFax.
To have your eFaxes print out on the printer, you need to set up the ePrint feature of the printer. Please start by Getting the Printer Claim Code. You can use the printer’s default ePrint email address to enter into your eFax account for an email address to receive the faxes too. If you would like you can Customize the Email Address for HP ePrint.

Language for Officejet 5740

I have bought the HP all-in-one Officejet 5740 from the ebay from Italy but no Greek menu. Is there a way to solve the problem!Thank you.

Hi,I afraid not, Printers are manufectured for a specific market, a printer purchased from Italy will not have any language available.. If Greek is not an option within its menu, it cannot be added to the printer. Regards,Shlomi

Duplex printing for last 2 pages only

A customer has an invoice report where they want the terms and conditions (which are 2 pages) duplexed while the report itself is not printed that way. Any ideas if this can be done using native SSRS?

I am not sure this will work or not, but you could embed the printer code for duplex printing into your stream.

Duplex Printing for MX922

Hey I didn't see this in the forums anywhere so thought I'd make a new topic.
How do I duplex print with the mx922? I'm printing from a USB stick and can't seem to find how to print both sides of the paper.
Bonus question: my printer only seems to accept jpegs. I've tried PDFs and it keeps telling me the format us not supported. That can't be true, eh?

Since this is not an auto duplex printer, you will need to go into your printer properties and set the allow manual duplex check box. Once you have set it there it will duplex all the time.

Duplex Printing for HP Color LaserJet CP4005dn Setup

How can I get my duplex printing to show up/work from the printer pop-up menu. Have installed all HP CP4005dn drivers. Installed the printer with all installable options. Printer works fine except no duplex print options. Have followed Mac Help's "Displaying a printer's special features when you print" to the letter. Nada. Have UNinstalled the printer. Downloaded all Mac updates. Downloaded all HP updates. Have reinstalled the CP4005 printer with intallable options. Still no duplex print options. Where is the miss? Why can't I get the duplex to function?

Have you taken a look to the configuration of the Printer? I have a HP 2340 with duplex and to configure it I have to do the following:
On the Preferences Pane, click on Printing and Fax or open the Printer configuration Utility. In any case, click on the printer and choose "Configuration of the printer" (in the Printer utility this is in the pritner menu). Then you will see information of the printer... May be there you have an option to activate the duplex... In may case there is a checkbox.
But may be you have done this...
Bests,
Álvaro

Set Simplex/Duplex Print for Adobe Reader documents

Hi,
I'm developing documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro that our users will open with Adobe Reader 8.0 or higher. I need to set the Simplex/Duplex print parameters individually by each document.
I've tried adding trusted javascript in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Javascripts directory. I can set the number of copies and lastPage properties but no luck with Simplex/Duplex.
my script includes pp.DuplexType = pp.constants.duplexTypes.DuplexFlipLongEdge;
The Simplex/Duplex works if the document is opened with Adobe Acrobat Pro but not using Adobe Reader 8.0
I see a posting suggesting "Cos level APIs - see the PDF Reference 1.7" but do not find anything in PDF Reference 1.7.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
I see Acrobat/Reader 9.0 is available. Is there anything regarding passing collate=true/false in 9.0?
