Why does my Brother HL-2240 only print on one side when duplex printing?

  Paul LewisSep 1, 2025
  If your Brother printer is only printing on one side of the paper when duplex printing, consider these potential causes: * Check the harness connection of the paper eject sensor PCB assembly and reconnect it if necessary. * The duplex tray might be faulty and need replacement. * The back cover sensor might be failing, requiring replacement of the paper eject sensor PCB assembly. * The main PCB might also be the cause, requiring replacement. * Damaged DX gears could also be the issue, requiring replacement of the main frame L assembly.
