Could not find anything on the Epson site for the model number that you supplied, apparently a number with the suffix W is a projector.

All I found was a Workforce 435 printer and the spec said it only supports doublesided printing for Windows, and not Mac.

Q:

How do I enable double-sided printing on my product?

A:

See the video below for instructions on enabling double-sided printing.

Note: The product supports manual double-sided printing from a Windows computer. Double-sided printing is not supported in Mac OS X. The printer software will prompt you to reload your pages once one side has finished printing.

Many thanks for replying. Yes it is the correct model number. It is an all in one printer. I hadn't realised it is not supported in Mac OS X. I know the printer does double sided printing as my friend who has Windows used it

Mary,

Unfortunetly no Mac😟

But I think that you can do a manual flip to do doulble sided, if you go to the link they have a video (I think) and it might explain the proceedure, or search the manual on the site.

Good luck
