      Imagine if you will, a thread that has been brought back to life after three years with a great solution to a problem to be solved.... You have entered the Samsung Zone.

      I have a 5935. Its my third unit I have owned and no other printer compares. Similar problem. Manual feeder works fine but the tray feeds 1.5 pages to the duplexer every time and then all bets are off. Will someone please tell me where the magically magnetic solenoid is located? I normally just take some magic 240 grit and give the tray feeder a little love. This time I think its the wrong time of the month. She just won't push a single sheet 100% of the time. Cheers!

        I don't think that this thread is going to help you gearbreaker.

        The original poster described an issue feeding originals through the document feeder. From what I can tell, you have an issue duplexing prints through the printer. Those are two distinctly different parts of the machine.

        I suspect that you are getting double-feeding from the paper tray. How old are the feed roller and separation pad? =^..^=
        If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
        1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
        2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
        3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
        4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
        5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          The machine is about eight or nine years old. I thought it was the same problem as this thread is about. Maybe I wasn't clear. The paper feeds from the lower tray and a second page is picked up when the sheet gets half of the way out of the tray. So one sheet with a second sheet on top of it that is half of a sheet behind try to make their way through the paper path and the machine complains and halts. What may have confused my question is that I had said that if I feed the paper into the secondary or envelope feeder it runs fine, which it does.

            Here too, if the rubber rollers and the separation pad are new, the magnets come into play and remain activated, mounted on the right side of the machine.

              Thank you. I assume that the side cover has to come off to get to the solenoid? I will check it out to see and chime back in after the smoke has cleared. ((:
