Double-sided printing: Have others had success using the duplexer to print double-sided?

I am having the same issues, as are others, so it is not just your printer. It works fine when the print command comes from a PC running Windows, but does not work with a Mac. This is pretty sad since I purchased it directly from an Apple retail store specifically to run on my Mac.

Yes, I use my laser printer for these cards and I'm able to print on both sides, but it depends on the printer. One of my printers does not have a problem with duplex, my other one does

Yes, it's plug and go. No double sided printing.If you want this feature it's the C711

Absolutely. Every time you print there is a check box that asks "2 sided printing on/off?" Its part of the standard print dialogue screen for all computer printers, across platforms, not just this one. Since the 1980's if I'm not mistaken. For further research Google "Guggenheim Press" and look up the definition for the word "BOOK." When you're ready, got to any still-standing large socialist book rental agency, called "public library" they might have more info on this "2 sided printing" dilemma as well!

This is probably among the smallest toner printers around. Furtheer, it will do duplex printing - prints both sides. Some printers that do this have some piece of plastic hanging out the back side. This one does not. For what my opinion is worth, I think this printer is great and a good value at less than $100.

No--it doesn't automatically duplex COPIES. I suspect that for PRINTING you could (as most printers now do) -- print the even pages, then flip over the stack, and have it print the second. BTW--be cautious which one you buy. I THOUGHT I was getting a second M1217 (wifi), and ended up with a M1212--non-wifi. Somehow on the list of suppliers, this one snuck in. Nasty trick. Oh well.

when doing auto duplex you have to flip the page to the other side if you want to print both sides of a 1 page double sided document. It will not automatically print a 2 sided page. Does that answer your question?

not automatically, no duplex..I suppose you could use the feeder and then flip the paper over, but that goes for any printer

Duplexing is a complicated process...neither the size nor the cost of this printer allows for the printer itself to duplex... however, see the previous suggestion by Joan

Sorry but I've never tried to use duplex printing so I cann ot be of any assistance. However, I've always found the Brother tech support staff to be responsive and helpful. I suggest that you visit the Brother web site and use their support link to ask your question.

We have one attached to our HP OfficeJet 7610 and have printed thousands of double-sided pages without any trouble. Very thick paper or cardstock can cause trouble with any duplexer so be sure to check the specs for maximum paper thickness. Regular 20 to 28 lb paper has been working for us for some time. Cleaning the paper feed rollers from time to time using a Q-Tip dampened with rubbing alcohol seems to work well to keep paper feeds even and straight. It works as if it had come with the printer to begin with.

I have. To be safe, print on one side first, allow the ink dry and then print on the second side. I had beautiful results.

I have not had any need to print doublesided documents, but I will try to check it out tomorrow and let you know. I do have a Mac, so my printer menus are considerably different than the ones that pop up on a PC. I have never even seen a "black ink only" option, despite searching. I will try to find it.Thanks for a well thought out and relevant response.

Under the listed features in printer properties it says "Double sided printing: no." This is with the latest drivers installed on a Windows 8 machine.

I use it in a Brother laser printer to print double sided... I set the printer setting to "thick paper" and it works great.

Yes, it does truly print double-sided, automatically! I love this feature. No more standing at the printer trying to figure out which way to feed the paper to print on the opposite side. It's so easy now! And if I need single sided printing, it just takes one click to change in the print dialogue box.

It does printed one sided. As for duplex, I'm not sure, but kinda doubt it.
