Hi @Suti1
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.
To remove and reinstall the duplexer on your HP Smart Tank 7605, follow these steps:
Removing the Duplexer
Turn Off the Printer
- Power off the printer and unplug it from the wall.
- Wait a few minutes to ensure no residual power remains.
Access the Duplexer
- Open the rear access door of the printer.
- Locate the duplexer unit—it’s usually a removable component at the back.
Detach the Duplexer
- Press the release tabs on both sides of the duplexer.
- Gently pull it out from the printer.
Reinstalling the Duplexer
Align the Duplexer
- Position the duplexer so that its connectors align with the printer’s slot.
Insert the Duplexer
- Push it in firmly but gently until it clicks into place.
Close the Rear Access Door
- Ensure the door is securely shut before turning the printer back on.
Test Duplex Printing
- Print a double-sided test page to confirm proper installation.
