    Problerms with 1232c

    First, I apologize if there is a similar thread somewhere on the forum, i couldn't find it, and for posting doubble post (coz i posted in wrong place first time).
    I have a problem with AF 1232c's duplex unit setup. Duplex works exelent while printing but it doesn't give me options for 2 sided copying. I looked in service setup and couldt find anything of help (closest i got to a solution is sp5803-60 but that didnt solve the problems).
    Thanks in advance.


    edit: tnx Cypher, but i already tryed that. That option only adds shortcuts for function keys where i dont have option for 2 sided copy. Also, when i enter the duplex/combine/series option on main copier meny i dont have 2 sided options for copy.

      Hi, enter user tools\copy features\general features\scoll pages to:\duplex mode priority\then choose two sides two sides.

          Maybe you have the wrong Doc on there, it should be a DF75 (ARDF)

              I had tons of trouble with this fucking machine but this is a new issue to me. Dunno 100% but even without a DF it should be possible to select 1sided>2sided - even without the "big buttons" you should be able to acess the duplex function at one of the other button at the bottom of the screens.

              Some copy funtions are limited on most machines if the HDD/Ram is broken/not present but that should also appear as a SC code/error display.

              Whatever you can try to format the HDD first (backup adress book first) and do a memory all clear (backup the nvram data first).

                  Agree w/ no HDD as the problem. If it is not installed you cannot duplex or use doc. server. (If it was bad, usually the machine will not boot.)

                          Sorry to say but all these machines came out with hard disk drives, 20Gb as I can remember, I think you complicating a very simple issue, as you say you can print in duplex mode so it must be something in user tools.

                              We definely know duplex copying does use the HDD as a scatch disk.
                              (Hence the function will disappear from the touch screen when the HDD is not present).

                              But I'm not so sure if the HDD is required for duplex printing.
                              It may just use the print/scan memory DIMM.
                              (E.G The 2205 could have a print only option fitted that didn't require HDD and they could duplex print).

                                  To be clear, are you saying that you can copy 1>2 but not 2>2? An ARDF is required for 2>2. Of course there is no 2>2 in Printing.

                                      It's not possible to remove the duplex function access completely out of the display - just the "big buttons" but not the access at the bottom of the screen.

                                      I'm not 100% shure but I think that the HDD is not neccessary for duplex printing.

                                      Well - I'm shure that Icopy is getting back to the topic as soon as he can tell us the result of the HDD check.

                                          Without the HDD, duplexing is not possible as it uses the HD as storage for the image.
                                          "Access at the bottom of the screen" The tab will be there but duplex options will be grayed out.

                                              tab... that was the word I was looking for

                                              Yeah I know that the HDD is necessary for certain features like duplex copying - but I'm still not really convinced that these dependeces are 1:1 equal to the printer limitations.

                                                  Yes, the problem was HDD. Our maintence crew seem to have forgoten to plug in hdd after complete maintence on this maschine. Ill update with more details (since im just tech support for them, im no repairman), but i think, by the laughter i got on the phone, one of them forgot to put it back in or forgot to plug it in
                                                  Anyways, ty for help, you've all been of grate help /cheers
