Microsoft Windows 11

Have an MFP 4101fdw. It was printing just fine. I shut the printer off for the first time in a while, and when I turned it back on it will only print the second side of a two sided print if I feed it through the manual feed, tray 1. Checked all the usual settings and can't find a reason for it.

On your computer, go to control panel> right click on devices and printers and select open from the drop down menu>right click on the icon for your printer and select "printer properties" from the drop down menu.

 

Next click on the device settings tab and scroll down until you see an option the "duplex unit" and make it is set to "installed"
