Hey all!
I recently purchased a Lexmark CS317 DN color laser printer, which has duplex printing on by default. Sometimes this is not desirable, so I went looking for the manual online for how to turn this off. After half an hour at this I've found 3 places in the manual where it mentions it:
I found it under the "Paper Loading" menu where it's possible to turn on duplex for all different paper types individually. I made sure all these were set to "Off" instead of "Duplex".
I found it under "Print Settings" - "Finishing" menu, where there's a "sides (Duplex)" option. I tried both the "1 sided" (default) option and "2 sided".
I found it also under "Eco mode" where there's a "Paper" or "Energy/Paper" mode for enabling duplex to save paper. I tried all settings under this option as well, mainly "Off" or just "Energy".
STILL the bastard sucks down the paper and prints on the back side of it every single time I'm printing more than 1 page of anything. Here and there in the manual it also conveniently tells you that "Duplex is the factory default setting", but at the same time inconveniently doesn't tell you how to change it. Would it have killed them to add a "... and this is how to disable it"?
Does anyone know how to get this printer to just operate normally, leaving the back sides of each printed page blank please?
