Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

It's a DeskJet -- automatic duplex (2-sided) printing is not supported.

 

 HP DeskJet Plus 4155 | 4120e: How to print a 2-sided document on HP Smart

Tutorial shows how to print a 2-sided document on the DeskJet printer.

This is a manual workaround as the printer does not support automatic 2-sided printing.

 

Additional Information...

 

=======================================

 

DeskJet printers do not support Borderless AND require a larger margin along the bottom edge of the paper.  These limitations often impact what / how the content is printed on paper.

 

Printing - Important -

DeskJet printer requires a larger margin along the bottom edge (1/2 inch).

 

 

Borderless PrintingNo
Print Margin Bottom (A4)12.7 mm
Print Margin Left (A4)3 mm
Print Margin Right (A4)3 mm
Print Margin Top (A4)3 mm

 

There is no software, firmware, or alignment that changes the larger margin requirement.

 

The solution to "chopped off" is to keep all data inside of 1/2 inch / 12.7mm on the bottom edge. 

 

This limitation includes all text, images, page numbers, footer information, cells, tables, lines, other notations, and all file types, too.

 

 

Create your original document with 12.7mm ( 1/2 inch ) margins.
