- Product
- WPS Office Writer and Xerox Phaser 6280
- Device & OS
- Windows 10
- Scenario
- Printing a folded booklet from a word-processor document when automatic duplex printing is unavailable.
- Observed behavior
- Only manual two-sided printing is shown; automatic duplex and booklet print options are unavailable.
Check the installed driver by opening Windows Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners, select the Xerox Phaser 6280, and note whether it shows a generic driver name. Keep the printer powered on and connected before changing print settings.
Update or Replace the Xerox Phaser 6280 Printer Driver
Use this first because Windows often substitutes a generic driver that lacks automatic duplex support.
A driver mismatch is the most common reason the Xerox Phaser 6280 shows only manual duplex in the print dialog. Installing the correct Xerox driver restores the printer-specific duplex and paper-handling options.
Open Windows Settings and go to Devices > Printers & scanners.
Click the Xerox Phaser 6280, then select Manage > Printer properties.
On the Advanced tab, click New Driver to run the driver wizard, or download and install the Windows 8 Xerox Phaser 6280 driver from the official Xerox support page if Windows 10 is using a generic driver.
Reopen the document, press Ctrl+P, select the Xerox Phaser 6280, click Printer Properties, and confirm that two-sided printing now appears.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Xerox Phaser 6280 show only manual duplex in the print dialog?
This usually means Windows is using a generic printer driver. Open Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners, select the Xerox Phaser 6280, and update the driver to the official Xerox Phaser 6280 driver to unlock automatic duplex.
Can I print a booklet from WPS Writer without automatic duplex?
Yes. In WPS Writer, open File > Print, select the Xerox Phaser 6280, and set the layout to 2 pages per sheet or booklet page order. Then use manual two-sided printing and follow the flip prompts.
How do I change from Book Fold to 2 pages per sheet?
In WPS Writer, open the Page Setup dialog from the Page Layout tab, change Multiple pages from Book fold to 2 pages per sheet, and confirm the orientation and margins before printing.
What can I do if the Xerox Windows 10 driver does not support duplex?
Try the Windows 8 Xerox Phaser 6280 driver from the official Xerox support site, then reopen the print dialog. As an alternative, export the file to PDF and print with the Booklet option in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Does WPS Office preserve Word booklet layouts?
Yes. WPS Writer opens .docx files and retains page sizes, margins, and section breaks, so you can adjust or print booklet layouts without recreating the document.
