2 sided printing on HP Envy 7640

[Jackman1933]

I have the same question except I want to do the 2 sided printing right at the printer and not using a computer.

I followed the instructions from the user manual  I downloaded fro HP and when I press OK to do the printing I keep getting this error message: "The selected paper or tray cannot be used for coping on both sides of a page".  This is page 40 of Chapter 5 Copy and Scan.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

I appreciate your time and effort.

You change the settings to copy on two sides on printer control panel.

Follow the below steps:

1. Load the original print side up into the document feeder, or load the original print side down on the right front corner of the scanner glass.

2. Specify number of copies and settings.

● From the Home screen, touch Copy . Flick to the desired number of copies.

● If the value for the 2–Sided option is 1:1, touch to select 1:2.

● Touch (Settings), scroll through the options, and then touch Resize to make sure Actual is selected. NOTE: The 2-sided function does not work if the Fit to Page option is selected.

● From the Settings screen, specify paper size, paper type, quality, or other settings.

● Touch (Back) to return to the Copy screen.

3. Touch Black or Color to start the copy job.

4. When prompted, load the second original and touch OK.

Try copying from the input tray to avoid this error message.

Let me know if that helps.

Cheers.
