Brother HL-5350DN user manual

There could be several reasons why you can't print double-sided on your Brother printer:
1. Printer Model: Not all models of Brother printers have a duplexing (double-sided printing) feature. Check your printer's user guide or specifications to see if it supports duplex printing.
2. Driver Settings: The printer driver or software settings may not be set to print double-sided. You may need to manual-configure it through the printer properties or preferences settings.
3. Paper Type/Size: Some paper types or sizes may not be compatible with double-sided printing. Generally, standard sizes like A4, Letter, and Legal support duplexing.
4. Physically Damaged: The duplexing unit in your printer could be damaged or malfunctioning. If you suspect this, it may be worth reaching out to Brother's customer service.
5. Software Update: Your printer's software or driver may need an update. You can commonly find the latest version on the manufacturer's website.
Remember, it's always a good idea to consult your printer's user manual or Brother's support website for specifics tied to your particular model.

To get your Brother printer to work, you can follow these steps:
1. Check the printer's power: Ensure that your printer is properly plugged in and turned on. Look for any indicator lights on the printer to confirm power supply.
2. Connect to a computer: If your Brother printer is not a wireless model, connect it to your computer using a USB cable. Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the printer and computer.
3. Install printer drivers: If you haven't already done so, install the necessary printer drivers on your computer. You can usually find the drivers on the Brother website specific to your printer model. Follow the installation instructions provided.
4. Set as default printer: Ensure that your Brother printer is set as the default printer on your computer. Go to the Control Panel (Windows) or System Preferences (Mac), find the Printers & Scanners or Devices section, and select your Brother printer as the default one.
5. Check ink/toner levels: Make sure that your printer has sufficient ink or toner cartridges installed. Replace any empty or low cartridges as needed.
6. Clear any print queue: If you have pending print jobs in the queue, remove them. On your computer, go to the print queue section and cancel or delete any jobs listed.
7. Test print: Send a test print job to your Brother printer to check if it's working. Use a simple document or an online print test page to verify that the printer is responding.
If you encounter any specific error messages or issues with the printer during this process, refer to the printer's user manual or consult the Brother support website for troubleshooting guidance.

To print Xerox back to back (duplex printing) on your Brother printer, please follow these steps:
1. Open the document you wish to print.
. Choose "Print" from the file menu or press "Ctrl + P" (shortcut key).
3. In the printer settings, select your Brother printer as the desired printing device.
4. Look for the option "Print on both sides" or "Duplex printing" in the settings. Different Brother printer models may have slightly different settings names, but it should be something similar.
5. Enable the duplex printing option by selecting "Print on both sides," "Long-edge binding," or any similar setting mentioned.
6. Choose any other desired printing settings like paper size, quality, etc.
7. Click the "Print" button to start the printing process.
Ensure that your Brother printer is capable of duplex printing or has a duplexer attachment. If your printer does not support duplex printing, you may have to manually print one side, flip the pages, and then print the other side.
