Dell 3100cn Duplex won't feed

The 1yr old Dell 3100cn I have suddenly will not feed through the duplex mod. When ever I try to print two-sided documents, the paper feeds through the regular paper path. Only the first page comes out then I get a 077-105 Error "Paper Jam Fuser". Of course, there's no paper jam. This error message flashes with "Open Duplex Mod Remove Paper." Again there's no paper. I've pulled off the duplex mod and set every thing back to the original state. Then I reinstalled the duplex mod, but the problem remains. Any ideas on why the duplex mod no longer feeds paper? Thanks!

    The same printer I have will not print duplex either

    I have a similar problem where I get "Paper Jam" error with the instruction to "Open Duplex Mod". I've only printed 5500 pages, barely enough to get through one complete set of toner. The problem occurs once every month or two and somehow self corrects after opening and closing every latch on the printer. And of course, there is no paper jam. Dell's tech support didn't resolve the problem. As an IT professional, I'm disgusted and not happy with Dell. For the $700 that I paid for this printer, I've had more trouble than any other printer. I'm inclined to never buy Dell printers again. Very disappointed.

    I have checked all the paper paths & have not found any paper jam. I've cleaned everything I have access to. I've tried removing the toners & cleaned them too. The paper jam error message will not go away. Please help.

DO NOT BUY DELL 3115cn color laser printers-will not duplex printer and Dell has no record of my purchase so refuse to help me plus their online manual will not come online. Purchase from Hell. Their records show my printer is in their warehouse even though it is in my living room.

I'd suggest it is a sensor issue. Since the error comes up, the printer stops responding - even if everything is okay.

We have a new hp lasterjet 4015n. It will print two sided, but it won't flip up the back side. I have my driver set to duplex print and flip up, but it won't flip up. Is there some setting on the...

I assume that you attached the two-sided printing accessory (duplexer) to your product:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01909142&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en#N428

The duplexing has to be set in the printer's
Printing submenu

DUPLEX OFF/ON

This item appears only when an optional duplexer is installed. Set

the value to ON to print on both sides (duplex) or OFF to print on

one side (simplex) of a sheet of paper.
The default setting is OFF.


Print on both sides (Duplex) Click Print on both sides. If you will bind the document along
the top edge, click Flip pages up.

Dell 3100cn Laser Printer - Not capable of duplex printing? Or yes?

Hi. Duplex printing is optional. You need to purchase additional accessories to enable duplex printing.

My HP 4700 printer suddenly can not print on both sides, yet it used to print on both sides. I can't see the option for duplex on its printing menu. Pls help

You can enable duplex printing from your computer, if it somehow got turned off. Open the printer program, and under Configuration Settings, click Duplex Mode, then click Enable Duplex Mode and then Apply.

At the printer, you can find the Duplex options by clicking Menu and scrolling down till you see Configure Device. Duplex is in that menu.

How do you print on both sides of a sheet of paper

Unless you are using a duplex "Multifunctional" copier(with fax.) most plain fax. machines are not duplex and will only print on one side of the page.
If you have a machine capable of rx duplex printing please specify make and model for additional help.

Loud Abnormal Sounds with each print job

It may be a paper feed issue. If using a duplexer, try removing the duplexing unit and try printing again. It's often attached to the back of a printer.
