How to Set A Printer To Automatically Print On Two Sides
Find out if your printer is designed for automatic two sided printing. Also called deluxe or double sided printed. Go to your Printer Properties dialog box found under printer setup.
Use the right paper. Very thin paper will cause ink to bleed through while to thick of cause a printer jam. Paper from 16-28 lb bond is good for double sided printing. When doing heavy items such as brochures, HP Premium paper is ideal. When using paper thicker then that, automatic double sided printing is not suggested. Manual double printing can still be done.
Find your printer set up box again and select the options box.
Select the Two-sided (Duplex) Printing tab.
Go to the next row and click the automatic setting.

How to Print on Both Sides of a Sheet With an Inkjet Printer
Know your printer. Know if your printer has a manual or automatic duplex feature. You can find out if your printer supports duplexing by checking your owner's manual or by looking at the options under the tabs in your print dialog box. Look for options that say 'double-sided printing,' 'duplex printing' or 'print on both sides of paper.'
Load the paper into your inkjet's paper tray. Make sure the paper is facing the correct direction.
Open your document in the program you created it in. Make sure to save any changes made.
Select 'file' from the top menu. Now drag down and select 'print.'
Look under the appropriate tab in the print dialog box. Usually the double-sided printing option is under 'properties.'
Select 'finishing.' You should have the option 'print on both sides,' 'duplex printing,' or 'double sided printing.' Select this option. Make sure other important options are correct such as color, orientation and amount of pages to print.
Select 'okay' to return to the main print box. Select 'print.'
How to Send a Fax From an All
Connect your all-in-one printer to a working phone line. Go to the setup menu of the printer if needed to complete any other task in the startup process.
Save your station ID to your printer's memory. The ID will be printed on the cover page and all other pages that are faxed from your machine. Some printers allow you to create sets of custom comments that you can automatically include on the cover page as well.
Feed the documents you want to fax into your all-in-one printer. The proper orientation of the pages depends on the printer, but the usual way is face down.
Choose the proper resolution for your document. Small type, fine line details and images demand higher resolutions than normal.
Allow the printer to automatically adjust for contrast unless you are faxing an unusually light or dark document. If needed, adjust manually for special situations.
Establish a dial tone. If your all-in-one printer shares the line with another phone, make sure that the other phone is off the line.
Use the control panel to dial the fax number or access any pre-saved numbers. Some printers will allow you to store fax numbers--the equivalent of speed-dial.
Wait for the printer's fax light indicator to go on. Beeps, lights and display panel messages are the most common ways an all-in-one printer will let you know it is ready to go.
Push the start button and let the faxing begin.

How to Clean a Printer Fuser (5 Steps)
Let the printer cool, since the fuser rollers can become very hot after use.
Open the appropriate printer door that leads to the fuser rollers.
Wipe away any excess fuser oil using a soft cloth. When the printer is in use, fuser oil may leak onto other surfaces inside the printer. Do not wipe the fuser rollers with the cloth.
Use the hose attachment on a vacuum cleaner to remove any debris from around and on the fuser rollers. If necessary, use a thin, pointed nose attachment to reach tight spaces.
Close the fuser door.
