Manual for HP c4132a (duplexer)

[Guest]

Does anyone have a manual for the HP C4132A duplexer (fits a laserjet
4050, among others)? Or does anyone have installation instructions for
it?

It's actually C4123A.

Turn off the printer, remove the duplexer slot cover from the back of
the printer, slide the duplexer into place, turn the printer back on.
Configure your drivers to realize the printer now has a duplexer.

If you plug in the corrected part number on HP's Support And Drivers web
page, it'll take you to a page where you can eventually download a 4.7M
PDF manual that tells you how to do the steps above in sixty-eight
different languages, and with pictures.

Yeah, I saw that as the instructions for installing a different unit
(the q2439a) into a 4200/4300. But the 4050 doesn't seem to have a
duplexer slot cover...

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. Typing c4123a into
that page, and selecting "setup, install, and configure" yields four
options:

» HP LaserJet 5si, 8000, and 8100 Printers - Setting Up and
Installing the Optional Duplexer 7 May 2004

» HP LaserJet 4200, 4300 Series Printers - Installing the Automatic
Two-Sided (Duplexer) Printing Accessory 13 Apr 2004

» HP Color LaserJet 9500 Series Printer - Installing the Duplexer
9 Sep 2003

» HP Color LaserJet 9500 Series Printer - Installing the Duplexer

Needless to say, none of these are the c4123a.

The "manuals" link turns out to link to the q2439, which is a
different product.

Yes, you're right. Sorry, I've used a few of the C4123s, but I so
rarely install them that I didn't notice the difference. And the
C4123A is obsolete now; there's a newer replacement that works on the
4000, 4050, and 4100 printers.

In any case, you remove the plastic cover that keeps dust out of the
back of the paper tray. You may also have to remove the two small,
L-shaped snap-on covers on the back of the printer (can't recall). Then
slide the duplexer in.

Yes, that's it -- I hadn't noticed the L-shaped pieces before.

Thanks!
