    printing two side of paper
    « on: December 06, 2009, 10:33:03 AM »
    Hello
    I want to buy HP 1005 laser jet printer. It can not turn paper to print two side of paper.
    Can it print two side of paper by printing odd pages first and then printing even pages?
    there is no information in HP website about it.

    Thanks

      Dear Camerongray
      I don't want to turn paper manually one by one. if you print 40 or more pages this work is too tiresome.
      the printers that can print two side are too expensive. is there any suggest?

        k_moshen, Even though i do own a laser printer i have no experience with them.However some items of concern i would have:
        1.Does laser printer paper (universally) permit the "burning" on both sides?
        2.All the printers i have had so far permit the selection of all pages or specified from/to (1-4) for example but i am not aware that they permit designating sequential odd/even criteria designation (however camerongay seems to have one that does). It of course could be done by only (one at a time ) designating odd/even pages. That seems to be as time consuming as flipping pages at each page however. truenorth
        P.S. I am aware of ink jets that do allow both side printing --i don't know if there are lasers that do so.

        Somewhere there is an option to print on both sides. And not one sheet at a time.
        You can print, say, twenty pages of the odd numbers, flip the twenty pages over and print the even numbers. Now you have a foty page document with only twenty sheets of paper.

        It's called "manual duplex". Even if your printer driver does not support the hand-holding steps, you can just go in the page selection of your word processor print dialog and select the odd numbered pages explicitly - for example 1,3,5,7,9,11 and after printing turn the stack over & select 2,4,6,8,10,12 & put the paper back in the printer.

        I ditched my Canon inkjet which had a duplexer and bought a cheap Canon laser printer for less than the cost of the inkjet cartridges. This has no duplexer and manual duplex works just fine.

        According to HP website the printer supports manual duplexing http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/printer/LaserJet/1/storefronts/CB410A%2523ABA

        Every printer "supports" manual duplexing. Some printer drivers make it easier by having a manual duplexing feature in the print dialog, with stuff like automatically selecting odd or even pages, prompting you to take the paper out, flip it over, reinsert it, etc. Otherwise you have to think it out for yourself. The only thing to watch out for with an inkjet is to let the ink dry before reinserting the stack. Oh and of course getting the paper orientation right. But a simple test document will show you that.

        Buy a HP 1320

        It does duplexing.

          Brother HL-5250 and higher models auto-duplex. :)

            thanks everyone  :)

            in my place there is no shopper and supporter for Brothers printer.
            and also HP 1320 not imported and in the market I can not find this model.
            I think the proposal of "Salmon Trout" is good for cheap printer.
            and if driver of HP 1005 really can support, I can print two-side whit odd/even printing.

            thanks
