Product: HP Laserjet Pro M281fdw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to make my Laserjet Pro M281fdw printer perform 2-sided copies or scans (ie. from a 2-sided original to a 2-sided copy or scan).  I am able to perform 2-sided (duplex) prints without any issues.  I have gone into Control Panel and in the Printer Properties under Device Settings, the Duplex Unit shows as being "Installed".

 

When I go into the LCD menu screen under:  Copy - Settings - Two-Sided  -  it only shows options for "1-Sided to 1-Sided" or "1-Sided to 2-Sided".   There is no option for "2-Sided to 2-Sided".


Hoping someone can help (even if the resolution is that this printer does not support 2-sided to 2-sided copying or scanning).  Thanks!

Hi,

The M281fdw printer supports automatic duplex printing only, it does not support scanning or copying both sides of an original automatically and therefore.

 

You may find its specifications below:
