Just installed a KMC3232 into an office and they have 2 mac's using OSX 10.3. i have loaded the driver but have no duplex option to install. I have checked the installable options but the duplex option is greyed out.

Help please

I had this problem with a canon fiery and postscript but have had good results with Kyocera products. Are you using LPD or bonjour and are you sure the driver is installed and it's not using a generic mac driver? Try selecting job separtor in printer setup. I know there are separate drivers for 10.4, 10.3 and down have a different installer.

I don't believe that duplex is an installable option - it is standard. Look under the "Layout" selection when you choose the print option from an open PDF or Word document and you should be able to choose short or long edge binding. To find "Layout" choose the pulldown that says "Copies & Pages" and select "Layout".

Andrew, you are right it should show up, in the layout, one thing I had to do with a Canon printing to OSX 10.4.8 (with the new intel platform) was go to Layout and then select Printer features, from within printer features select layout again and there is another option to select duplex, sounds crazy but it works.

Are your drivers the most recent? I seem to recall seeing something about one of the driver releases having a problem.


Relax? When?!

I had the same issue with a sharp but it looks like you need to look closer into the driver...

1. Under the setting dialogue - copies and pages - there is drop down.
2. Select printer features
3. Select Finishing 1
page order
duplex
sorter
staple mode
booklet mode
4. select duplex

Duplex is enabled for that print job only.
