My old HP cp1515n (colour) has 180° both in the cassette and in the manual feed tray. I also have a Laserjet M209dw (BW) on another site that prints on both sides. The cassette is 180°, and for the reverse side the paper goes twice, I don't know exactly how, but it has to bend both ways somehow. It goes very fast, I doubt it is durable. Single tray. -- Cheers, Carlos.
