Can you enable duplex printing on a permanent basis?

Every printer has different option to configure the duplex. We recommend you to check on the printer properties. First, find the printer clicking on Start and click on device and Printers, then right click on the printer you want to work and click on Property. Then look for the option. Once you change it, apply the changes.

Yes, I have mine set up for auto duplex. Even when I print from my phone it prints on both sides.

After downloading the printer drivers, I still find the duplex option is not available - any ideas on how to enable?

It does print Duplex. I have only print plain paper, not card stock. I believe it can do card stock as well.

I've used the printer for printing legal sized documents quite a bit, and it works just fine. The printer does not have a duplexer, however. Manually turning the pages is necessary to print on both sides of a sheet.

Works effortlessly... perfectly... when you select "print" there is a"PREFERENCES" option to click on...Click on that, and several options appear, one of which is "duplex printing".... click on that..then PRINT... the one side prints, there is a ten second pause and that page is retracted into the printer and the second side of same paper is printed...

LoveGadgets nailed it; it does not give you the option of two-sided printing when you reach the dialog box for printing a document or file. Technically, you can do double-sided if you print the even pages, go to the printer, replace them in the tray, and then print the odd pages. But I don't think that's what most people look for when asking about double-sided print capability. I just returned mine having discovered this, and having confirmed with HP support that indeed it does not have automatic two-sided (duplex) print options. So don't be fooled. http://h71016.www7.hp.com/html/pdfs/LJPro_400_Color_M451.pdf LoveGadgets nailed it; it does not give you the option of two-sided printing when you reach the dialog box for printing a document or file.

Yes. You can switch back and forth, depending on how you want each separate job to print.

Not without you putting the paper back in upside down!(No, this printer is not duplex, and will not print on both sides on its own.)

Can you also use the auto duplex feature with 5x7 photo prints? I am needing to print double sided invitations on special cardstock and was wondering if I should by normal letter size & cut out or if I was able to just do 5x7 double sided photo paper. Thanks so much in advance!

Yes and No. I'll explain,This is the single sided model, it will print the back side if you turn the printed page over. The software included with it does offer DUPLEX printing as an option. In that mode it will print ever other page, (odd numbered) then you turn the printed pages over & it will print the even numbered pages. A neat feature, but a two step process. There is a higher priced model that automatically prints both sides, but I really like this model as I don't need dual sided printing often.

I can manually set to copy one-sided to print duplex but not able to auto copy duplex to duplex.

That would require a print server instead of a hub. Puts the printer on a network. Easy to do.

Yes, it can. However, there are many other printers that can do that as well. This is the absolute worst printer that I had ever owned.

I use the Pixima ix6520 regularly. It will do manual duplex printing. First check the duplex box in the print dialog box. It will them print the first page and then bring up another dialog box with instructions on how to turn the first page, and reinsert it into the printer for the second side to print. Just be sure to reinsert the first page exactly as the directions instruct.

Need the duplexer installed on the back of the printer(mine came with it in the box). Would depend on the OS print dialog, but somewhere in the printing preferences there is a place where you can specify 2-sided as default..I put long edge. But if you do not do that, when you hit "print" also there would be in the printing dialog box that comes up a way to do it for that print job usually under options or properties there would be a way to specify 2-sided for that particular print job.

It is manual, there is a side panel that drops down to feed the sheets by hand (one at a time). Angel75c is correct, it does do Autoduplex - just turn on Duplex (Two Sided Printing)with the click box located in the "printer setup" within the application software. I stand corrected. (Thanks Angel)!
