Duplex printing only on the short edges?

I literally just got my HP 6700 and he bought mainly for double-sided printing function, because I'm a student. When I went to print double-sided, it was only an impression on the short edge no matter what setting I put it on (impressions short edge to edge settings long both the short side in the printer dialog). I checked every setting I could think perhaps, but the printer still refuses to orient the pages correctly. It is extremely frustrating, especially when I spent a lot of money on a purchase of this new printer. Is it possible to fix this?

I use Mac Os X version 10.9.4 and print normally on Google Chrome. All the software has been downloaded automatically when I connected my printer to the network.

Oh wow, thank you for providing such a post detailed!

If you do not have the driver tab, then something is wrong with this driver; You install the correct one or not install the full features software. Before going further, please uninstall the HP software currently installed on this HP document uninstalling the software of the printer.

Please perform method 1 and 2 of this document. Once this operation is completed, you will need to download this software from HP:

I even provide the link right here for you, so you can download it now. Please let me know if that makes a difference.

  • M651dn: with manual duplex printing only the paper size custom

    Hello

    I have a strange problem with several HP printers in my office (cp4525dn, 401dne, M651dn).

    Automatic duplex printing works as usual if I use plain paper A4 format.

    But when I use a custom paper size (21 x 21 cm), then the 'duplex manual' appears on the screen with the information I need to deliver the document again.

    It's strange. -That someone has an idea if this could be a bug or it's 'normal '. But automatic duplex should work too much here, I think. What you mean?

    It makes no difference if or USB-connected to the local network. I also tried different drivers, without success.

    Thank you very much

    Daniel

    According to the manual the User Guide Laserjet Pro 400 M401 , automatic duplex printing is not supported for custom paper sizes.

    It goes the same for my printer LaserJet Pro 400 MFP M475dn .

    I guess the same applies also to CP4525dn and M651dn models.

  • Photosmart 5520 (but also others) duplex printing cleared at the bottom

    Very recently, I bought a Hp Photosmart 5520 and I found that sometimes the bottom of a page is cut off when printing double-sided. I looked in this forum and found that this problem is hardware related and can not be solved, but there are solutions. I did a few tests with my current setup and I want to share my discoveries, here for other users waiting for HP to add a FAQ for the photosmart 5520 entry. (but also for the 6520 and 7520, probably)

    The problem is clearly stated in a few messages, dating from September 2013 and Nov 2013, although it is not very easy to find

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/other-printing-questions/duplexing-discrepancy/m-p/2470573/highlight/tr...

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/scanning-faxing-and-copying/double-sided-printing-is-cut-off-short-Phot...

    Basically, the margin of the low printable area is 3mm side simple impression, while it is 15mm (at least!) for the first page, double-sided printing. This is due to the fact that the printer must keep the paper in the output roll after that that he finished printing the first page. It is therefore IMPOSSIBLE to duplex - print a document with text or graphics that extends beyond the margin of the lower 15 mm, unless the page size is reduced so that the effective bottom margin is 15 mm. On the other hand, if the document does not contain text or graphics beyond bottom margin of 15 mm it CAN be printed double-sided without reduction.

    IMHO, the problem is that the default behavior of the firmware of the printer, the drivers of operating system and/or applications do not always properly address this limitation leading to surprising or unsatisfactory results.

    To better understand the limits and behavior of the printer, I have carried out tests under the following conditions:

    (1) copy 2-sided vs 1-side in the printer display

    (2) Windows 7 applications: Word2010, Foxit PDF reader, Acrobat PDF reader

    (3) 4.3 android: Cloud Print and HP ePrint apps

    The firmware in the printer is MGP5CN1351AR (Sep 12, 2013)

    The windows version of printer drivers is 28.8 (October 30, 2012)

    For tests 2 and 3, I have prepared a document word of 2 pages with headers and footers located exactly at 15 mm of margin top and bottom of the page and I have produced a PDF with CutePDF (unfortunately this forum does not allow attachments, otherwise I would have attached it).

    The results were as follows

    (1) in 2-sided copy the last 15 mm on part and on the other copy of the output are empty, even if the text of the content entry page, while, in 1-sided copy only the last 3 mm are empty (resizing is turned off, of course)

    (2) double-sided printed of Word2010 gives a duplexer not resized when the printing preferences, advanced options, "Arrangement" is disabled. If it is set on, the output is reduced. Print PDF files is tricky: there are several different options in Foxit PDF and acrobat PDF. Auto-Centre and adjustment - on the page to print double-sided, but do not keep the right size in Foxit PDF reader; If preserve layout is off a significant part of the bottom of the page is not printed, apparently due to the fact that the margins are not properly managed by foxit PDF. Acrobat PDF instead, leave a good impression both sides preserve the page layout and scaling are disabled (obviously up to 15 mm).

    (3) android Cloud Print prints the word and pdf files WITHOUT a provision to 'preserve', this is why some clipping may occur; HP ePrint prints two word files and pdf reduced in size, as if "preserve layout" option has been set.

    In summary, I'll leave the "preserve layout" options always on in windows and I'll take a cut on the side of double-sided printing and I use hp eprint instead of cloudprint. If the correct size is important to a PDF file, it is best to experiment with Acrobat PDF (even if it is not a light program). iI would be expected at HP improved the behavior of the windows printer drivers to print a PDF file.

    I hope that this post may be useful to other people.

    You are right, that the effective page size is reduced because of the extra margins required to manage the document in automatic duplex mode.  From the rear is donated in the printer from the bottom and bottom printed in the top margin is also higher top for the back to the front.

    The checkbox 'Keep the page layout' is important for results appropriate, although it will reduce the effective print size.

    I've seen reports before of Foxit PDF printing problems, I avoid and use Adobe Reader.

  • HP Pro 8600 n911a Duplex printing only on one side

    Hi Im having proplem is im using the document feeder, try to use the duplex feat. and printing only on one side

    IM using paper 8 x 11, I've changed the setting for double-sided copying print settings can somone please help...

    Hello honorable31,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I appreciate that you try to use the double-sided copy document feeder. This model printer the N911a does not support the loading of double-sided documents. The N911g and the n supports the loading of double-sided documents.

    So that you can accomplish something similar to come, you will need to place the original on the glass, and then press copy > settings > both sides > 1 heads 2 copy. The printer is paused in the middle of the job to allow you to turn the page on the glass.

    I hope this helps.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 a: printers print only after the new cartridges installed

    Whenever I put in new cartridges I have problems with the print head alignment, then it usually printed.  This time, he was sitting with cartridges empty color for awhile and now it does not print at all.  I always use only the new HP cartridges.  It fails the alignment and the blue and yellow and sometimes the magenta show on the sheet alignment.  What is the print heads?  Why would I need to change them whenever I have to add ink cartridges new which makes no sense.  I have never changed them, but they worked very well until I added the new ink.

    Hey @janh1058,

    Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.  I hope you enjoy your experience here.

    I understand that e-all-in-one-HP Officejet Pro 8500 a your printer is printing is no longer.  I would like to work with you on this. I have a few suggestions that might restore your printing capabilities.

    It could be that the long period of inactivity of dormancy has dried the print head, even if you have made the right choice in leaving the cartridges installed in the printer.  I recommend you try the following basic troubleshooting steps before embarking on a manual print head cleaning more intensive:

    • Click here and clean the printhead automatically via the front panel of the printer, as shown in the second Solution.
    • Repeat three times if you still have print quality issues.
    • Remove and reinsert the cartridges once more with the printer to force the printer to print a different allignment page.
    • This to improve the print quality?

    If you use always the same question, I have a few more advanced troubleshooting tips:

  • print only after the opening of door cartridge

    Have HP Officejet Pro 8500 has. When the print command is sent to the printer, it (printer) shows that the printer prints but it doesn't unless I first open the door to the cartridges and close it. Then it prints whaat is in QC. Why would this happen?

  • HP envy 5530 Wireless: print only on the left excluded from the page. The right part shows a gray rectangle. Preview looks right

    My new printer works, but although I've marked the parameters for the letter and print preview appears correct, that the printed pages are coming on only the left excluded from the page.  On the right 1/3, there is a gray rectangle.  I really need to fix.

    Thanks again for your response.  It turned out that the printer was not to blame.  I was using the word 2016 and he had a setting of markup that was running.  When I turned is disabled, gray Panel went out.  Unfortunately, he seems to be the default setting and returned.  But until I figure out how to fix I just check the section of markup on the Ribbon and make sure it is off.

  • F4400 prints only on the left side of the page.

    Hi, I have an impression of recent problem out of the web pages with my HP F4400 all-in-one printer/scanner.

    It will only print the left side of the selected page to a web site.

    However, it will be to print documents from my computer with no problems at all, the problem with web pages, that is my bank statements, for example, it cuts off the right side of the text.

    I use the Windows 7-64 bit operating system.

    I don't remember having this problem before today, and I can't imagine a way to clear it up.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello inkie

    I would say that it is most likely a problem with FireFox. You can back up your bookmarks and reinstall the browser. If the problem persists, there may be a setting in FireFox that should be changed since the update, and you may want to communicate with Mozilla. I can help you to reinstall the printer driver, as it could be related, however, I think that this isn't probably also another browser running.

    3. Have you sent the print job by sending an e-mail to the printer, use the HP ePrint app, or the HP AiO Remote app?

  • MX922 white duplex printing on the back of page 1

    When you print using duplex printing, the printer prints page 1, let white back, then prints page 2 at the last in duplex, as it should be. Seems a little odd, that if there is an odd number of pages, the test blank must be at the back of the last page, not page 1.

    Hi steelslicer,

    You can try to uncheck the option 'Print last Page' in the printer driver to see if that will solve the problem.  To do this, please follow these steps:

    1. go into your START Menu, then select DEVICES AND PRINTERS.

    2 right-click on the icon for your PIXMA MX922, and then press Select PRINTING PREFERENCES.

    3. click on the PAGE SETUP tab.

    4 locate the duplex printing section near the bottom of the window, and then uncheck the box for duplex printing.  When the box is unchecked, please uncheck the box to PRINT OF LAST PAGE, then check again the duplex printing check box.

    5. click the button OK at the bottom of the window to save the changes, and then try to print again.

    I hope this helps!
