M401dne disable duplex printing

Consider buying a Pro 400 M401dne printer Laserjet (HP # CF399A), but you need to disable the Duplex for some print jobs. Can someone tell me IF and how this is possible for this printer?

The printer will be connected to the home network (ethernet) and used by a Z1 Office and some portable computers using Win 7 or XP with Office 2010.

As seen in other messages to do this via the control panel of the printer or Device Manager in Windows. However, I do not understand if it is valid for this specific type of printer and what are the differences between these two options.

Has anyone done this (on & off switch for double-sided printing) for this printer?

I recently bought the same printer.  I am still using Windows XP Pro, so that's what my instructions will be based out of you.

Basically, all you need to do is go to the printer properties and select Printer preferences dialog box, and then click Finish.  There is a box that you can 'check' to enable the duplex feature.  Or you can "uncheck" to disable the function.

It's like a global change.  So if you decide for a single specific print job, you want two-sided and you want others to be just simple face, just a file--> print when you go to open a file and want to print it.  It will bring to the top of the Printing Preferences dialog box.  Simply go to the finishing tab and then check the box and print.

I hope this helps.

    Problem solved. I contacted HP Support by Chat online and we opted for the PS driver. It works correctly, a face print individual pages, Duplex prints two pages on one. So yes, the PCL6 driver is deficient.

    Thank you very much

    I recomment reset the printing system and check to see if that can help you:

    * Be aware that reset the printer system will eliminate any existing queue and reset all custom settings driver.

    Click on the Apple menu and then click on System Preferences.
    Select Print & Scan.
    Right click (or Ctrl + click) your product with the Printers list in the left panel and then click on reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type your user name and password.
    Click OK. The printing system resets.

    Now click on the sign, add the printer and check if the duplexer remains enabled.

    If the same persists I would reomment to the duplexer from the interface of CUPS by visiting 631 / admin, you should see an option to activate the duplexer as well.

    If the interface disabled by default, go to utilities > Terminal and type the following command to enable:

    sudo cupsctl WebInterface=yes

  • HP Laserjet P2015d: HP P2015d duplex printing blank first page

    Hello everyone

    I have in my office, among other things, the printers two HP Laserjet 2015b. We use it on Windows XP, 7 and 10. Whenever I put them for the first time, I have the same problem with the drivers.

    From XP and ending with 10, there are 3 packs of drivers, PCL5, PCL6 and Psalm none of them installs ok, printers work, but there is a problem in duplex printing, gives me a headache. I try to only print only one page (for example: 1 page, current page, etc.), printers print on both sides of the paper, first white and the text on the second.

    In XP and 7 that I managed to solve the problem in a very strange way, install a software package and manually change the driver with that of another pack! For example, I installed PCL 6 and I changed in the printer properties Advanced pilot, the PCL 5 driver. And that after many attempts to find the best combination!

    Now, I have improved my work to 10 Windows 32 bit laptop and I can not solve the problem either. Any driver, I choose the 3 special indeed for Windows 10 or fom those made for 7 or XP, try to only print that one page in duplex, the printer prints on both sides of the sheet of paper, white on the first and on the second text! And I find no option in the settings of the printer to solve this problem.

    Can someone help me with this problem?

    Thank you

    Thank you all for the advice and opinions. I did it!

    After many, many attempts, I noticed a small option "allow manual duplex", which was enabled by default, and which appeared in print (MS Word and other programms) main window only when selected duplex! Strange! I disabled it in the Advanced tab of the printer properties and everything is normal now!

    Now I can use the printer again only in "duplex" mode, and it prints a page "simplex" and the two following pages "duplex", because it suppose to do!

  • Photosmart 5520 (but also others) duplex printing cleared at the bottom

    Very recently, I bought a Hp Photosmart 5520 and I found that sometimes the bottom of a page is cut off when printing double-sided. I looked in this forum and found that this problem is hardware related and can not be solved, but there are solutions. I did a few tests with my current setup and I want to share my discoveries, here for other users waiting for HP to add a FAQ for the photosmart 5520 entry. (but also for the 6520 and 7520, probably)

    The problem is clearly stated in a few messages, dating from September 2013 and Nov 2013, although it is not very easy to find

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/other-printing-questions/duplexing-discrepancy/m-p/2470573/highlight/tr...

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/scanning-faxing-and-copying/double-sided-printing-is-cut-off-short-Phot...

    Basically, the margin of the low printable area is 3mm side simple impression, while it is 15mm (at least!) for the first page, double-sided printing. This is due to the fact that the printer must keep the paper in the output roll after that that he finished printing the first page. It is therefore IMPOSSIBLE to duplex - print a document with text or graphics that extends beyond the margin of the lower 15 mm, unless the page size is reduced so that the effective bottom margin is 15 mm. On the other hand, if the document does not contain text or graphics beyond bottom margin of 15 mm it CAN be printed double-sided without reduction.

    IMHO, the problem is that the default behavior of the firmware of the printer, the drivers of operating system and/or applications do not always properly address this limitation leading to surprising or unsatisfactory results.

    To better understand the limits and behavior of the printer, I have carried out tests under the following conditions:

    (1) copy 2-sided vs 1-side in the printer display

    (2) Windows 7 applications: Word2010, Foxit PDF reader, Acrobat PDF reader

    (3) 4.3 android: Cloud Print and HP ePrint apps

    The firmware in the printer is MGP5CN1351AR (Sep 12, 2013)

    The windows version of printer drivers is 28.8 (October 30, 2012)

    For tests 2 and 3, I have prepared a document word of 2 pages with headers and footers located exactly at 15 mm of margin top and bottom of the page and I have produced a PDF with CutePDF (unfortunately this forum does not allow attachments, otherwise I would have attached it).

    The results were as follows

    (1) in 2-sided copy the last 15 mm on part and on the other copy of the output are empty, even if the text of the content entry page, while, in 1-sided copy only the last 3 mm are empty (resizing is turned off, of course)

    (2) double-sided printed of Word2010 gives a duplexer not resized when the printing preferences, advanced options, "Arrangement" is disabled. If it is set on, the output is reduced. Print PDF files is tricky: there are several different options in Foxit PDF and acrobat PDF. Auto-Centre and adjustment - on the page to print double-sided, but do not keep the right size in Foxit PDF reader; If preserve layout is off a significant part of the bottom of the page is not printed, apparently due to the fact that the margins are not properly managed by foxit PDF. Acrobat PDF instead, leave a good impression both sides preserve the page layout and scaling are disabled (obviously up to 15 mm).

    (3) android Cloud Print prints the word and pdf files WITHOUT a provision to 'preserve', this is why some clipping may occur; HP ePrint prints two word files and pdf reduced in size, as if "preserve layout" option has been set.

    In summary, I'll leave the "preserve layout" options always on in windows and I'll take a cut on the side of double-sided printing and I use hp eprint instead of cloudprint. If the correct size is important to a PDF file, it is best to experiment with Acrobat PDF (even if it is not a light program). iI would be expected at HP improved the behavior of the windows printer drivers to print a PDF file.

    I hope that this post may be useful to other people.

    You are right, that the effective page size is reduced because of the extra margins required to manage the document in automatic duplex mode.  From the rear is donated in the printer from the bottom and bottom printed in the top margin is also higher top for the back to the front.

    The checkbox 'Keep the page layout' is important for results appropriate, although it will reduce the effective print size.

    I've seen reports before of Foxit PDF printing problems, I avoid and use Adobe Reader.

    Edit: Maybe this will help someone else.

    Under the printer properties > Device Settings the option to enable manual duplex printing has been set to enabled by default.  Even if it is enabled, the manual duplex option was not available in the print dialog box.  To play today, I put manual duplex to disabled, applied, changes new set to enabled and applied again changes.  Now, I have the manual duplex option in my print dialog box.  Something must have just been shifted after the installation.  Setting and turn it on again worked for me.

    I also point out that I have authorized the HP software update web printing for IE, but I don't believe that to be the reason why it works now.

  • Print booklets - not duplex printer

    I print a booklet of 8 pages on the leaves of two 12 x 18 and my printer will not duplex print.

    I need to print the "spreads" strange first and then feed them through for the even side... don't see any obvious way to do it.

    It seems disables Indesign 'sequence of page' for the print margins and booklets.

  • Win 7 says module duplex printing not installed while it is installed

    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. HP Photosmart C6280 is connected to the USB port.

    I followed the steps to set the option to print double-sided on "Installed" in the printer properties and automatic duplex printing in the book save the printer preferences section. However, when I print a document, I get a message that says:
    "Missing automatic duplex printing module.

    "The document has been configured using the Automatic Two-Sided Printing Module, but module is not installed in the device. The document will be printed recto. »

    I know that it is installed in the printer, because I was able to print duplex when the printer is connected to a Windows XP computer. But since I've upgraded to a new computer with Windows 7, there is no more automatic duplex printing.

    What can I do to fix this?

    Kind regards

    I whent to a UDP driver on the HP support site, but my model C6200 series printer does not appear in the list of supported printers.

    in any case, I despair, I've not unhooked the printer and its drivers. When I connect the printer back, Windows installed the drivers and the duplex now printing.

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    I'm not talking Mac - OSX or Mac nothing else, frankly.  The smile.

    I don't know that the Duplex setting must be defined in the Print Options.

    I found the following - directions probably depends on your version of Mac OS x - it may be enough for you to find the configuration:

    and from HP:

  • Duplex printing on Macx 4240N

    So, we have a printer HP Laserjet 4240n that fails to print duplex. After going to the layout, "Two faces" option is greyed out and unselectable. What can be done to fix this?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Indeed the 4240 is not AirPrint enabled printer.

    The 4240n does not print duplex automatically, only the model "d" support automatic duplex printing and, therefore, the option both sides should be greyed out because he only reffers auto duplex.

    You can find the characteristics listed below:

    To print two-sided manual open the file used to print, and then click file > print.

    Note: You may need to click Show details to spend printing options.

    Click on the drop-down list below, appears under the name of the application on most applications (e.g. Safari, Text Edit, etc)... will appear as Copies of Pages & in MS Office for Mac

    Select the manual Duplex in this menu and select the manual Duplex check box.

    You can click the Presets menu, and select Save current settings as a preset to save our configuration for future use, save it as a "Preset" will save the current value settings by default until another preset will be used.
