I presume running fused copies through the process again will not effect the printing mechanism in any way. After all, that's what duplexing (manual or automatic) does, so it shouldn't bother it at all
Actually it can. Depending on how the paper is picked up by the printer "rollers", the paper can get caught in the mechanisms. For SFF printers, should not be a big deal. But for full-on printers, it is a pain in the .... Happen too often and it can really foul up the printer. You will sometimes see reference to an "anti-curling" technology... That was one solution to the issue. Another solution was to use drums to pick up the sheets instead of thin rollers, but those also had issues due to the rubber hardening faster...

Load of fun.
