Q: Willl it hurt a color laser printer (without a duplexer) to print 100 pages, then refeed them into the paper tray (upside down) and print on the second side? I'm trying to do a brochure, but I'm wondering if the first side image would get "burned" or printed onto the drum or rollers???? I referred to the manual, but it talks nothing about double sided printing.
A: In most printers this should be OK, but it concerns me that your manual doesn't mention anything about double sided printing. Color laser printers have special high end fusers that have special coatings on the fusing roller, and if they are able to do 2 sided printing, then the associated pressure roller will be made to handle it as well, but if it isn't, then you could cause problems with the fuser pressure roller (nothing else in the printer would be affected) and possible paper jams then and thereafter. It would be helpful to know the make and model of printer to possibly give more informed information. Best of luck.
