Duplex feed not working

Just cleaned printer (toner leak)and put in new drum and toner cartridge. Duplex printing had been working perfectly, now doesn't. First page (really page 2) prints and gets fed back into the duplex tray. The duplex tray, however, can't spit the paper out to be printed on the other side. The sheet of paper gets stuck in the duplex feed and the paper jam light goes on. Tried a duplex tray from another printer (same model) and got the same result. The bottom paper tray set properly and rollers appear to be in OK shape (I wiped them all down with a damp cloth, just to be safe) and I don't notice anything unusual with the new drum/toner cartridge. Single sheets print fine. What else can I try? (I use duplex printing extensively.) Any suggestions appreciated.

    I am referring to a Brother HL 5250DN Laser Printer. If I'm not mistaken, the C6200 is an HP printer. I don't know of any "Duplex Unit" in the 5250DN's properties. This "solution" has nothing to do with the stated problem.

  • Mory Korenblit Jan 13, 2014

    Update: The duplex printing now works. However, whereas prior to the start of this problem approximately two months ago, I had close to zero misfeeds, I estimate that I get between 5%-10% misfeeds--which is not acceptable. Two faint ink lines (which must be produced by the rollers--though I don't know where the toner is coming from) run the length of the page, approximately 1" off each edge. While my problem has been mitigated, it has not been solved. I'd appreciate it if John Tuminaro would elaborate on why he thinks a new fuser would solve the problem. Thanks.

Check the C6200 Device Settings in the properties and make sure that the Duplex Unit is installed.

I don't suggest refilling cartridges as I work on printers every day but seems to me that you have done everything correctly the only thing I think you have done is either filled with incorrect toner thus giving a incorrect reading or when moving gear you have dislodged the pin that activates the reset procedure.

Thanks J

SOURCE: Duplex Printer prints one side upside down

If it's the same as the Brother 4070 you go into printer proerties (press properties next to printer selector after sending a document to print).  Choose the advanced tab, on this tab near the top are five buttons with icons on, the second one shows two pages with A and B on, press this to access the duplex and binding options.  In there change from "flip on top edge" to "flip on left edge"

Sounds to me like the toner - that is the toner cartridge has the wrong toner in it. The drum should be OK - clean it up first and then use a genuine toner cartridge OR you can buy our refill kit on eBay - search for Brother HL2040 - michellem6123

Brother 1510 replace toner problem

Assuming you have tried to replace an empty toner with a new or refilled toner cartridge. Some of these machine simply fail to recognise the reset activation lever on the side of the cartridge. You could try removing the end cap at the geared end. You will find a half moon shaped gear which needs to be lifted out slightly and rotated a quarter turn clockwise. replace any other gears and refit the cover. This resets the toner cartridge to "new" state. If you printer doesn't recognise this, you will need to get a manual reset keycode from brother. Please note - some folk reset used cartridges this way and re-use them. Used toner will contaminate the drum and give poor print. Any residual contaminated toner on the drum can contaminate a new cartridge and so-on. Refilled cartridges are fine if the cartridge is completely cleaned out first.

My Brother HL 5250DN printer has started making a loud clicking sound when it tries to feed paper for printing. It then stops and the paper light starts flashing.

Clear the jammed paper as follows.
Observe Cautions signs in printer.
Always remove all paper from the paper tray and straighten the stack when you add new paper. This helps prevent multiple sheets of paper from feeding through the printer at one time and prevents paper jams.
1. Press the cover release button and then open the front cover.
2. Slowly take out the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly. The jammed paper will be pulled out with the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly.
3. Pull the paper tray completely out of the printer.
4. Close the front cover.
5. Pull the jammed paper up and out of the printer.
6. Open the front cover again.
7. Open the back cover.
8. Pull the tabs at the left and right hand sides toward you to open the fuser cover (1).
9. Using both hands, gently pull the jammed paper out of the fuser unit.
10. Close the back cover.
11. Pull the duplex tray completely out of the printer.
12. Pull the the jammed paper out of the printer or the duplex tray. Put the duplex tray back in the printer.
13. Push down the blue lock lever and take the toner cartridge out of the drum unit. Clear the jammed paper if there is any inside the drum unit.
14. Put the toner cartridge back into the drum unit until you hear it lock into place. If you put the cartridge in properly, the blue lock lever will lift automatically.
15. Put the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly back in the printer.
16. Put the paper tray firmly back in the printer.
17. Close the front cover.
18. Make sure that the Paper LED is now off and the printer is ready.
After clearing paper jam if noise persist printer may need a Repair Tech and parts replacement for broken or wore parts.

Duplex tray is broken. Where can I order one?

You can purchase it from Brother and the part number is LJ7661001
DX FEED ASSY. The small "wheels" can also be purchased if you don't want to buy the whole unit, but I am not sure which ones you are talking about as there are several in the unit. The printer may print fine as long as you don't print Duplex.

Oki C9300 - paper keeps jamming in the 2 same places, reads either 383 paper jam or non paper sense error. All drums and tonners are new, paper is loaded.

your getting a 383 paper jam, find paper in two different places.
See if it's a duplex related problem. print single sided documents, if that works, try printing two sided documents (it'll be the duplexer) if it only fails while printing duplex.

Also, check the back door. Make sure the back exit tray is closed all the way.

You can also have a paper jam in the duplex unit (open the front door), the duplex unit slides out the front. You can easily remove the duplex unit and run the printer without it.
