Download manual here:

See page 29 for duplex instructions

Hello
Yes I read the manual, it doesn’t seem to mention much about duplex, I assume if I manage to select duplex, then the second print will go to,the other side of the first print ??

But can’t find the page in the manual......lots and lots of settings and option screens but nothing that simply says select duplex

Can’t find the screen shown in the manual, pity it doesn’t say where t find it

If you are printing from WORD, you should click "File" at top of page, then click "Print", then click "Properties". Under one of the tabs you should see screen with Duplex option. This will be one time option.

Read this for better understanding:

Using irfanview to print images, but the printer options should be the same ?

 

[ruffin]

Irfanview is great application. Yes, printer options same. Might be named "Printer Preferences"

Unless I am stupid, which I don’t think I am I really can’t see the duplex option

OK Red. I have older version Irfanview V4.27.

Look at top of GUI and you will see from left to right "File - Edit - Image - Options - View - Help"

Click "File" -> Click Print -> Click Printer Setup -> Click Properties

Under "Main Tab" You will see "2 Sided Printing"

Click "Auto" or "Manual" or "Off"

Red, if you dont see the 'Menu Bar" at top of Irfanview GUI, just do this to make it appear:

Press Alt+Shift+M keys

Press same keys again to make Menu Bar disappear

Sorry, I should have specified that previous entry.

Hello
Found the screen you refer to....but although it has 2 sided printing duplex, there is no tick box to select it
Without a tick option, the printer will not know I wish to print duplex !

 

[ruffin]

You may have to select finishing mode down arrow and look for "duplex printing"
Or click Options button. You must play with it until you find correct combination.
Or you may have to click down arrow under 2 sided printing and select Long Edge or Short Edge
Maybe look under Paper Feed Options.

Dont know as Oki printer completely different than my Epson or HP
Out of gas. Wish I could help you further. Let us know if you discover solution
