HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401 - Software Technical Reference

NOTE: To make the Print on Both Sides check box available in the document options, set the

Duplex Unit (for 2–sided printing) setting to Installed on the Device Settings tab in the print-

driver Properties tab set.

Cardstock paper can be manually printed on the second side. Transparencies and labels should never

be printed on the second side.

To print a multiple-page document, follow these steps:

1. From the software program, select the Print option.

2. Select the product, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.

3. Click the Finishing tab.

4. Select the Print on Both Sides check box.

5. Click the OK button, and then click the Print button.

Flip pages up

Use the Flip pages up check box to specify the duplex-binding option. By default, the Flip pages

up check box is not available. It is available only when Print on both sides is selected. The

following table demonstrates the results of selecting this check box, depending on the paper orientation

selected on the Finishing tab.

Landscape Long-edge binding Short-edge binding

When Print on both sides is selected, the document preview image changes to show a spiral

binding along either the left edge or the top edge of the page. In addition, a folded-over corner

appears in the lower-right portion of the preview image, indicating that printing occurs on the back

side. An arrow on the folded-over corner points in the direction that the pages would be flipped if they

were bound together.

Short-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by flipping over like the pages of a calendar.

Long-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by turning like the pages of a book.

Booklet layout

The Booklet layout drop-down menu, visible when Print on both sides is selected, offers choices

that are based on the current paper size. The default setting for the Booklet Printing drop-down

menu is Off. The other settings have the following format, where [paper size] depends on the paper

size that is set on the Paper/Quality tab:

●

Left binding

●

Right binding
