SOURCE: HP 1320 duplex printing paper jam

Managed to solve this myself: I disassembled the printer and noticed there was a paper jammed in the duplex tray. Rolls were all ok, but the paper blocked the use of the duplex pathway. For disassembly help check the HP 1320 service manual, which you can find on the net as a PDF.

There's a firmware update and driver update available on the HP.com website...

I'd recommend updating both and then seeing if the problem remains...

SOURCE: Duplex copying on HP Photosmart C8280 All-in-One

Open HP Solution Center, click on Settings, click on Scan Preferences, select "Scan both sides of original when using duplex feeder."

or
Open Solution Center, click on Scan Document, and you should have a check box towards the bottom of the window which would say 'scan both sides of the original document'. check that box and start scanning.

How do you print two sided on xerox 6180 phaser

I expect you have to put the paper in the other side up. however if you do you could spoil the first side as it will melt the wax again when it's fusing the second side!
Good Luck.

Hi, Hope you can help, A CP 6015 jams on dupex 2nd side on entrance to fuser,it looks like something to do with pressure roller release mechanisum as when released an actuator moves across fuser entrance,...

The document I was thinking of referred to fuser wrap jams. I did some quick checking of duplex jams though and this might give you some guidance to check for.

These errors refer to jams when repicking to print side 2.

Cause Solution The spring of the duplexing media-repickup-sensor lever is unhooked Check the spring and place it in the correct position. The duplexing media-repickup-sensor lever is damaged Replace the duplexing feed unit. Poor contact of the duplexing media-repickup-sensor connector Reconnect the connectors of the duplexing media-repickup sensor (J1945), intermediate (J1909, J1950) and the DC controller PCA (J4105). The duplexing media-repickup sensor is defective Check the duplexing media-repickup sensor by the sensor monitor mode. If the sensor is defective, replace the duplexing feed unit. Poor contact of the duplexing repickup-motor connector Reconnect the connectors of the duplexing repickup motor (J1771), intermediate (J1908, J1939, J1941) and the duplexing driver PCA (J4104). The duplexing repickup motor is defective Replace the duplexing feed unit.

How do you print duplex on a HP Laser Jet 4650n

You have to print the first side then take those prints and put them back into the paper tray to print the second side (Manual Duplex). If this were a DN model it would have built in automatic duplexing and you cound select "duplex printing" from your print setup screen and the printer would print both sides automatically.

Only if you print the first side then place the paper back into the printer to do the second side. Also referred to as manual duplexing. This printer has no automatic duplexing option.
Also keep in mind that the percentage of duplex prints you do should be very low as this printer has no method of cleaning the fusing unit as most printers do that are made for duplexing. The industry standard is 2% or less should be duplexed.

Will not configure for two sided card printing

What printer are you using? Many printers cannot print two-sided or duplex printing. If your printer cannot handle duplex printing, you'll need to do what's called "manual" duplex. Print one page then reinsert the paper and print the second page. Test this on cheap paper first to determine if you need to insert the paper printed side up and which way (if any) you'll need to roate the page.

HP Laserjet 2015n printer

Sir, the Hp LaserJet 2015n printer CANNOT automatically do duplex printing since the printer does not include mechanism and paper storage areas to cycle the paper through the printer a second time and print on the reverse side. Manual duplex printing can be done as follows: Choose duplex printing and remove all sheets after the printing is complete. Turn the sheets over while preserving the orientation and insert them in the paper feed path. I have an HP 1020 laserjet printer which is similar to the 2015.

HP C4200 Printing both sides

Some printers automatically print on both sides of a page (automatic duplex printing); other printers allow you to manually reinsert pages to print the second side (manual duplex printing); and some printers do not support duplex printing at all. To find out whether your printer supports duplex printing, you can check the printer manual, contact the printer manufacturer, or check the printer's properties by clicking Properties in the Print dialog box.
To find out whether your printer supports duplex printingThe options in the Print dialog box can vary depending on your printer options and configuration.
You can use the following clues to determine whether a specific printer supports duplex printing:

Check your printer manual or consult your printer manufacturer.
Click the tabs in the Print dialog box and review the options. If options such as print on both sides of the paper, duplex printing, or two-sided printing appear on any of the tabs, the printer probably supports automatic duplex printing.

Notes

If you are printing to a combination copy machine and printer, and the copy machine supports two-sided copying, it probably supports automatic duplex printing.
If you have more than one printer installed, it's possible that one printer supports duplex printing and another printer does not.

To manually set up a printer to print to both sides of a sheet of paperWith some printers, you can use the Manual duplex check box under Printer in the Print dialog box. Word will print all of the pages that appear on one side of the paper and then prompt you to turn the stack over and feed the pages into the printer again.
You can also use the following procedure to set up your printer for manual duplex printing:

On the File menu, click Print.
In the lower-left corner of the Print dialog box, in the Print box, click Odd pages.
Click OK.
After the odd pages are printed, flip the stack of pages over, and then in the Print dialog box, click Even pages.
Click OK.

Note Depending on the printer model, you might have to turn and reorder the pages to print the other side of the stack.
