Double sided print option not available in dialogue box in Pages

I have Phaser 6510 printer. Duplex printing installed. Option in Pages for double sided printing not available. Double sided printing option in Adobe Acrobat Reader is available for same printer. Also, when printing from pages to same printer, Pages doesn't recognize bypass tray for envelopes and will print to that tray. Acrobat Reader recognizes both trays and both paper sizes. What to do?

Pages has nothing to do with your double-sided printing. That is a function of the System print panel that Pages uses when you attempt to print. There should be a duplex check box adjacent to the copies count. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC rolls its own print dialog, and does not use Apple's.


Have you kept up with the Fall 2019 and Feb 2020 driver and firmware updates for this printer? Simply installing the drivers is insufficient for the printer to just recognize them. You must reset the print system, and re-add the printer using the new drivers.
