Can A3 300gsm paper be used for a double-sided print run on this machine

Unfortunately, 2-sided printing is only available for the Epson L20 when used with the Windows OS. See page 22 of the user guide available here: https://www.epson.com.ph/Ink-Tank-Printers/L-Series/Epson-L120/s/SPT_C11CD76401?review-filter=Mac+OS+X+10.11.x#manuals . The current link to the manual is http://support2.epson.net/manuals/english/ij/l120/pdf/npd4965-00.pdf . You might be able to use the Duplex feature if you install BootCamp and an licensed version of Windows (XP up to WIndows 10). Neither BootCamp or licensed copies of Windows are free.

I wish that I had better news for you.

Mam/Sir,
Did you match the proper paper with the machine paper weight on print driver must match the draw and the paper weight on the paper package such as Thick 1, 2, 3 and the weight on the paper package g/m2. use copier spec page to determine Thickness. also try running it though once for one side then second time requires no duplex re-running a second time from same draw. But a tech coming out to look at the machine might know if you have a registration problem on double side copies, he might also have a firmware update he can install the correct the problem.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/normanj_7893313f0751935f

The Konica Magicolor 1690MF Printer/Copier/Scanner is connected with an Ethernet Cable or USB Cable. It is not equipped to operate as a wirleless printer. It has a 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet interface port and a USB Revision 2.0 High-Speed compliant port.
To do two-sided printing you must have the duplex (double-sided) option installed. This also requires either Tray 2 or the Attachment to be installed underneath your machine. Tray 2 is the optional lower feeder unit which increases capcity of your machine to 500 pages. The Attachment comes with the Duplex Unit.
Only Letter and A4 plain paper (16-20 lb bond) can be autoduplexed. With the duplex accessory installed you can do duplex or double-sided printing automatically.
From within Printer Preferences select Two-side Printing > Automatic. Shoud have choices of Off, Manual or Automatic. Within the Layout Tab for your work you may also be able to specify duplex (double-sided).
Should you have continued difficulty, please reply and advi e if the duplex option is installed and with which software and operating sysytem you are using.
Thank you for using FixYa!

I have NEVER seen "double-sided photo paper"; photo paper is specially coated to accept ink on ONE SIDE ONLY, so what you want to do is not possible. You can print photos on both sides of PLAIN paper, but you probably won't like the results.

The simple fact is that double-sided photo paper simply doesn't exist, unless it is NEW in the market and hasn't reached my neighborhood yet. You can't print on BOTH sides of photo paper because the paper is ONLY designed to take ink on ONE side.

Best of luck to you; hope this information helps you.

Hi there!You printer does not have an automatic duplex(double-sided printing)so you have to make a manual double-sided printing.When you start to print something , in the widow of the printer click on the preferences and look for the option "Print on both sides" or "Manual double-sided printing".When you start the printing the printer will print page page 1,3,5,7..... on the one side of the paper.After the printer finish you have to take the papers and put them back in the printer with the other side of the paper.Then the printer will start print page2,4,6,8,.....If you need any other help please replay!Tghaky for using Fixya!!

Your manual can be found here.

Printing on both sides of paper You can print on both sides of a paper; duplex. Before printing, decide how you want your document oriented. You can only use this feature with Letter, Legal, A4, US Folio, or Oficio sized paper.


Do not print on both sides of the special media, such as labels, envelopes, or thick paper to print on both sides of paper. It may cause a paper jam or damage the machine.

1. To change the print settings from your software application, access Printing Preferences. (See Opening Printing Preferences.)
   
2. Click the Layout tab.
   
3. From the Double-sided Printing section, select the binding option you want.
   
   • Printer Default: If you select this option, this feature is determined by the setting you’ve made on the control panel of the machine.
     
   • None
     
   • Long Edge: This option is the conventional layout used in bookbinding.
     
     
   • Short Edge: This option is the conventional layout used in calendars.
     
     
   • Reverse Double-Sided Printing: Check this option to reverse the print order when duplex printing.
     
4. Click the Paper tab, select the Paper Options.
   
5. Click OK or Print until you exit the Print window.
   

If your machine does not have a duplex unit, you should complete the printing job manually. The machine prints every other page of the document first. After that , a message appears on your computer. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the printing job.

Good Luck!

The MP610 does support duplex printing.

Duplex Printing

The duplex printing function allows you to print data on both sides of a sheet of paper.
The procedure for performing duplex printing is as follows:
Performing automatic duplex printing
You can perform the duplex printing without having to turn over the paper.
1. Open the printer driver setup window, check the Duplex Printing check box, and confirm that Automatic is checked.

2. Select Normal-size Printing (or Fit-to-Page Printing, Scaled Printing or Page Layout Printing) from the Page Layout list.
3. When printing a document that has small margins, click Print Area Setup... and set the print area.
When you perform duplex printing, the print area of the document becomes slightly narrower than usual and the document may not fit on one page.

To print without reducing the page:
Select Use normal-size printing.
To reduce the page slightly during printing:
Select Use reduced printing.
4. Specify Staple Side.
The printer analyzes the Orientation and Page Layout settings, and automatically selects the best staple position. Check the Staple Side setting. If you want to change the setting, select another value from the list.
5. If necessary, click Specify Margin... and set the Margin width.
6. Click OK.
Duplex printing will be started.

Performing duplex printing manually
You can perform the duplex printing manually.
1. Check the Duplex Printing check box and uncheck the Automatic check box on the Page Setup tab.

2. Select Normal-size Printing (or Fit-to-Page Printing, Scaled Printing or Page Layout Printing) from the Page Layout list.
3. Specify Staple Side.
The printer analyzes the Orientation and Page Layout settings, and automatically selects the best staple position. Check the Staple Side setting. If you want to change the setting, select another value from the list.
4. If necessary, click Specify Margin... and set the Margin width.
5. Click OK.
If a media type other than Photo Paper Plus Double Sided is selected for Media Type on the Main tab:
When you execute print, the document will be printed on one side of a sheet of paper. When printing is complete, reload paper according to the displayed message and then click OK. The document will be printed on the opposite side.
If Photo Paper Plus Double Sided is selected for Media Type on the Main tab:
When you execute print, the document will be printed front and back alternately for one sheet at a time. Load the paper according to the displayed messages.
Note Duplex Printing is unavailable when:
- A media type other than Plain Paper, Photo Paper Plus Double Sided or Hagaki is selected from the Media Type list.
- Poster Printing is selected from the Page Layout list.
When Booklet Printing is selected from the Page Layout list, Duplex Printing and Staple Side appear grayed out and are unavailable.
After printing the front page, there is an ink drying wait time before starting to print the back page (Operation stops temporarily). Do not touch the paper during the time. You can change the Ink Drying Wait Time at Custom Settings on the Maintenance tab of the printer driver.
When you perform the automatic duplex printing for Hagaki, print an address first and then print your message.
Tip If you select Photo Paper Plus Double Sided for Media Type on the Main tab, the Duplex Printing check box on the Page Setup tab is not checked automatically. To perform duplex printing, check the Duplex Printing check box.
If the Media Type dialog box appears when performing borderless printing during duplex printing, select Plain Paper or Photo Paper Plus Double Sided.
When performing the automatic duplex printing, do not use any plain paper smaller than A5. Also, do not select any type of paper other than Plain Paper, Photo Paper Plus Double Sided or Hagaki at Media Type.
Photo Paper Plus Double Sided is highly recommended for printing photographs on both sides of a page.
If the back side of the paper becomes smudged during duplex printing, perform Bottom Plate Cleaning in the Maintenance tab.

On the machine when a 2 sided document is inserted in the document handler, select the 2x2 button on the console. Press the start button and the machine will feed the document in, and do a reverse of the document for the second scan. In the paper feeder, the machine feeds the paper in and reversed the copy back into the machine, flips the copy then feeds the copy back for the second side to be copied.
If you do not have a m20i, the lower model numbers will not do two sided copies.

here is the manual p4 and p16 discuss the topic:
Duplex printing 1
The supplied printer driver supports duplex printing.
Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper 1
�� If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
�� If paper is curled, turn over the stack, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the Manual Feed
Slot.
�� If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper, straighten it and turn over the
stack.
�� When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality.
If there is a paper jam, see Paper jams in the User’s Guide. If you have a print quality problem, see
Improving the print quality in the User’s Guide.
Manual duplex printing 1
The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows® driver
instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, straighten it well,
or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or thick paper is not recommended.
Simultaneous scanning, printing and faxing 1
Your machine can print from your computer while sending or receiving a fax in memory, or while scanning a
document into the computer. Fax sending will not be stopped during PC printing. However, when the machine
is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the PC printing operation, and then continues printing when
copying or fax receiving has finished.


�� Manual Duplex
Check Manual Duplex. In this mode, the machine prints all the even numbered pages first. Then the
printer driver stops and shows the instructions required to re-install the paper. When you click OK the odd
numbered pages are printed. There are six types of manual duplex binding directions available for each
orientation.
�� Booklet Printing
When you want to print a booklet, use this function. To make the booklet, fold the printed pages down the
middle.
�� Binding Offset
If you check the Binding Offset option, you can also specify the offset for binding in inches or millimeters

Hi,

you copy first side normaly. then on left side open bypass deck.Put the paper, so that the side on wich you want to print is down. Automatically when you put paper in bypass, the machine ask you wich format is it ( eg. A4 ), confirm with OK, then you need to tell machine wich type of paper ( eg. plain paper ) and OK. then green copy key.
