I have an hp 4300 with a 13.12.00 error when the duplexer is installed

I had worked with the duplexer previously, but has now begun to fail. Do I have a bad duplexer?

Here is a copy of the 13.12 error troubleshooting steps from the service manual.

1. Press the HELP ( ) button for
detailed information about
clearing the jam.
2. Press the UP ARROW( )
button and the
DOWN ARROW ( ) button to
step through the instructions.
3. Check the paper width and
fuser delivery sensors
(PS106, PS108) and verify
that the sensor arms move
freely. (See "Location of
printer switches and sensors"
on page 336.)
4. Check the inside of the
duplexer for scraps of media
that might have torn off when
a jam was cleared.
5. Replace the media-size
sensor (PS106) and fuser.
See "Location of printer
switches and sensors" on
page 336 and "Fuser" on
page 162.
6. Turn the power off. Remove
the duplexer and turn the
power on. If the error
message persists, replace
the DC controller PCA. See
"DC controller PCA" on
page 181.
7. Replace the fuser (PS108).
See "Fuser" on page 162.
8. If the error message appears
frequently, see "Paper-path
troubleshooting" on
page 295.

SOURCE: error code 57.70 on HP 9500 color printer

What is the code? This unit does not have a fan in the duplexer nor for the duplexer. The 9500 has a fan housing but there was never a fan put in by the design team. Give the code and I look it up to see the problem.

I have two hp lj4700dn model. one works for duplex but I can not find the duplex mode on the other. Do we need to configure or install anything else to get this option up.

Usually if you can not find the duplex mode it is because there is no deplexer installed, are you sure you have a duplexer installed in both?

5652 and Vista - duplex print not working

In Vista the default s the duplexer is "not installed". Go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, Printers, double-click on the Deskjet, Printers, Properties, Device Settings and set the duplexer to "Installed".

If the duplexer prints the back side upside down in Vista once it is enabled you can get a patch as described here.

Duplexer problem

First, the machine always prints the first page first. Make sure you have the right driver (4 plus and not 4)and check the settings in the device settings of your printer driver on the pc. Also make sure the duplex unit is for the 4 plus and not the 4.
