How to use manual duplex on Workcentre 3215? I need to print on both sides.

[Pippy]

What can I do if my print options don't show PCL? See attached.

 

I did find this Layout screen. Notice I am unable to select from the two-sided dropdown. It's grayed out.

If your print driver has the option shown above, use it and print your job, when it finishes feeding the paper (prints the odd numbered pages) it will prompt for you to reload it in the tray again to print on the other side (even numbered pages)

Since PS doesn't have the option and PCL does, and since I showed exactly where it shows PCL and even highlighted it, there should be no need of me to explain it further.

Thanks but I'm still not clear. What are the PCL and PS drivers? Do you invert the printed page and feed it through the front door? Sorry to seem slow on the take here but coud you please give me a quick step by step tutorial on how to take a printed page then print on the opposite side? Thank's in advance!

It only exists in the PCL driver, not in the PS.

I have looked through the user manual but cannot find instructions on how to manually print on both sides of a document with my new 3215. I would appreciate a concise step by step explanation of the procedure. Thanks!
