256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows registry

INTRODUCTION

The first time that you send a duplex print job to your printing device from one of the products listed in the "Applies To" section, you may be prompted to complete a five-step printer test procedure. The five-step printer test lists your printer in the Microsoft Windows registry. Additionally, the printer is configured for future duplex print jobs.

If you do not complete the five-step printer test procedure correctly, you may not be able to print duplex print jobs on your printer. Additionally, if you do not complete the five-step printer test procedure correctly, you must reactivate the five-step printer test, and then complete the five-step printer test correctly.

Note A duplex print job is a print job where you print on both sides of a sheet of paper.

MORE INFORMATION

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
