BLANK PEGES BEFORE PRINITING DOUBLE-SIDED

[DMcV]

If I print double-sided the printer always sends out two or three blank pages before printing the job.  I am printing A4 on Presentation Paper.

Welcome to the HP support community.

Which operating system is installed on the computer to which this printer is connected?

Did you make a copy and check if that prints fin?

You asked which Operating Sytem, Windows10

You asked did I make a copy?  I dont know why you ask that and what that means.

I am printing direct from a CorelDraw document.  The document has one page.

I ask the printer to print double-sided and print muitiple copies (even numbers).

The Printer kicks out a number of blank sheets before it starts printing the requested pages, which it does correctly.

As I am using a presentation paper which I preload the correct number of sheets it is frustratib=ng that several blank sheets are kicked out first. I obviously, now, preload more paper than is needed to obviate the problem.  But why should I?
