Print job prints on both sides of the paper.
Cause | Solution |
The printer is set for duplexing.
See Gaining access to printer driver settings to change the setting, or see the online Help.
Print job contains only one page but the printer processes the back side of the page as well (the page comes part of the way out, and then goes back into the printer).
Cause | Solution |
The printer is set for duplexing. Even if the print job contains only one page, the printer also processes the back side.
See Gaining access to printer driver settings to change the setting, or see the online Help.
Do not try to pull the page out of the printer before duplexing is complete. Jamming might result.
Pages print, but are totally blank.
