Hello VasAlex,

Thanks for the post.  Please tell me a little more about your system, MAC/WINDOWS?  Which OS?  What happens when you attempt to copy duplex?  Do you get any error messages from the printer or your system?  Does it perform a simplex copy without issue?  I might suggest taking a look at this document pasted below, there is some great information on duplex printing.  Let me know how it goes and Good Luck!

Hello again VasAlex,

Thanks for the update.  So when you have a multi-page document, as an example in Word, you choose file>print>from the left menu>then ensure your printer (the 1536dnf) is selected as the printer>Under the settings menu choose the drop down menu under Print One Sided>Choose Print on Both Sides (option for orientation)>choose Print.  The steps will be similar for any application that you are printing from. 

You can also choose to make this setting change from the printer software.  Click on the Win7 start button, choose devices and printers, select your printer and open.  Under printer actions choose "see whats printing", then when the new window upens, choose printer in the top left, choose printing preference, under the printing shortcuts tab, on the right side you have the option to "Print on both sides"make your selection here, choose apply. 

I hope this information helps, Good Luck!

Unfortunately that is an error 404 page now.  Any other possibilities?  Thanks.

Everything can be done as you suggest without setting the printer in multi-page copy. No need to use change the printer settings for multi-page copy. Just follow the rest of your steps, i.e., copy the first side, put the copy in the paper tray upside down before copying the second side.
