How to do double sided printing on Hp officejet 5746

[sachin1118]

When I try to print double sided it only comes printed on one side. I put a document into the ADF that only has 1 side. I want this same side printed onto another paper but on both sides. I selected 2 sided copy 1:2 but it only prints on one side. I know I can manually put the paper in the other way too, but is there any solution to this to print double sided.

Hi @sachin1118,

Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Forums for a solution to your printing inquiry.

I understand that you are using an HP Officejet 5746 e-All-in-One Printer with a Windows 10 computer and you are trying to print double sided but the print is coming out single sided. I would like to help.

I want to make sure that I totally understand what you are trying to do. Are you trying to print double sided from your Windows 10 computer or trying to do a two-sided copy using the printer's control panel?

I will watch for your reply so I can look further into this for you. Please reply at your convenience.

Thanks.

@rb011 I am using the printers control panel. This has nothing to do with my windows 10 PC because it actually works fine from PC. im trying to scan a one sided document, and have that same one sided document print on both sides of the new page. Somehow I get 2 separate pages instead.

Hi @sachin1118,

Thanks for getting back to me. That is what I thought you meant, I just needed to be sure.

If you are making a 2-sided copy, do not touch or remove the copy that comes out the output tray after the first side is printed. Watch the printer display, it should indicate that it needs the 2nd page loaded, but in your case you will just leave the same sheet on the glass. Press OK to finish the two-sided copy.

Here is a support document that can be referred to for making copies using the printer's control panel - Copying Documents or Photos with an HP Officejet 5746 e-All-in-One Printer Series.

Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance.

So I only make 1 copy even if I want 2 sided?

Hi @sachin1118,

Yes, that's right. 

If you only want 1 page with the same print on both sides, you only want 1 copy, but you want to select 1->2 for a 2-sided copy. After that all you should need to do is press Black or Color to start the copy.

Sounds like you are on the right track.
