Automatically printing on both sides
The duplexing unit in the product prints on two sides of a sheet of media when the Print on Both
Sides option is specified in the print job. The HP LaserJet 9050dn model comes with a duplexing unit
installed.
The HP LaserJet 9050 printer supports smart duplexing. The smart duplexing feature increases
printing performance by not sending one-page print jobs or single-sided pages of a duplexed print job
through the duplexing unit even when the duplexing feature has been enabled in the driver.
All media types support the smart duplexing feature, except for media types that cannot be printed
on both sides, such as labels, and the following media types:
■ Prepunched
■ Preprinted
■ Letterhead
When the media type is set to Unspecified, the smart duplexing feature is disabled.
To achieve the best print quality when printing on the second side of the page, the product needs to
make adjustments to its print modes. When you select a media type, you are, in effect, instructing the
product to use a group of settings, such as fuser temperature and print speed, to produce the best
possible quality. This group of settings is known as a mode or print mode, and a different print mode
is used with each media type. Print-mode adjustments are automatic when the duplexing unit is used.
