is it capable of duplex copy? I do a lot of photo copying that needs to do auto back to back - w/o me turning the pages(both original &amp; the new paper)

It is capable of 1-sided to 2-sided photocopies, but not 2-sided to 2-sided copies (i.e. without running it through a second time). The scanner is single-side only. To do double-sided scanning requires flipping the documents over for a second run.

I don't have this printer yet but I've been researching and talked to the Epson rep at Fry's. I can answer your last two questions: Yes, you need an additional part (available for ~25 bucks) for duplex printing. However, there is no duplex auto doc feeder, making automated dual sided copies impossible. BTW the duplex Auto Document Feeder (ADF) scanning is what is holding me back on this purchase. My current HP 7780 has a duplex ADF and the Canon MX7600 have it.

See comment #1. This will not automatically handle paper size greater than 8.5 x 14.Also - this is NOT a color copier or printer.It will duplex/two side print.It will scan and save in color. Output is PDF, TIFF, JPG or BMP.I have had this model (2 of them) for a number of years and it is extremely reliable and heavy duty for its class.Recently purchased a third MFP from Canon - DW4880 wireless scanner, printer, copier and fax. Updated model but doesn't have the performance of the 4370. It is not color output but will scan and store color images.

I found this comment in one user's review regarding duplex legal scanning:"It is what I expected. great print quality. duplex document scanning is a big plus. It wont duplex scan legal though which I was disappointed but I don't do that much legal so it is ok."I'm still looking for an answer about duplex printing on legal paper, but I'm beginning to think that the answer to that question will also be "no."

Thanks for this info - that definitely shows that the MF4150 has some awareness for the need to do duplex copying.My next question would be: Can the software that comes with the scanner allow you to scan one side of 30 pages, then scan the other side of the same 30 pages, then the software will generate a PDF that orders the pages correctly?

It is manual, there is a side panel that drops down to feed the sheets by hand (one at a time). Angel75c is correct, it does do Autoduplex - just turn on Duplex (Two Sided Printing)with the click box located in the "printer setup" within the application software. I stand corrected. (Thanks Angel)!

I purchased the printer and it does do duplex scanning. In addition to the single scanning glass inside the machine itself, there is a document feeder tray on top that I've used to scan 3-4 pages (give or take) at a time.

I honestly haven't tried out the automatic duplex feature, but it does handle 11x17 paper.

I can manually set to copy one-sided to print duplex but not able to auto copy duplex to duplex.

It does not do Automatic duplexing. You would need to print out the front pages, then flip the paper manually over to print on the back. If you select double sided printing with the HP software installed, the printer will assist with this process.

Works effortlessly... perfectly... when you select "print" there is a"PREFERENCES" option to click on...Click on that, and several options appear, one of which is "duplex printing".... click on that..then PRINT... the one side prints, there is a ten second pause and that page is retracted into the printer and the second side of same paper is printed...

Does not work in Duplex with Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). You are right to check on this. I just set one up and didn't find this glitch until I was ready to print from Word. You would think they would put that caveat on the box considering it touts "fastest 2-sided printing" all over it.

The automatic document feeder is single-side only. To do double-sided scanning requires flipping the documents over for a second pass. If you're scanning to a PDF document, there's a checkbox (in the Macintosh driver) which allows you append multiple pages (and/or multiple scan passes) into a single PDF document. Typically, this will result in all odd pages appearing in the first half of the PDF, and all even pages in the second half (or vice versa), however the page order is easily rearranged using the Mac's Preview application. This works well enough for small documents, but would become laborious for larger documents (unless it could be automated; i don't think Preview has a rich enough Applescript dictionary, however, to make this possible via either Applescript or Automator.) Duplex copying (i.e. 2 sided to 2 sided) is possible, but not utilizing the duplex printing capabilities of this printer. You'd do that same way you would in a non-duplex printer. It is capable, however, of 1-sided to 2-sided photocopies with duplex printing (using the ADF).

perhaps I should clarify - there's not automatic two sided feeding for copying but you can produce two sided copies.

Unlike other ScanSnap scanners, this model does not support duplex in hardware. The software has a continuous scanning mode that allows you time to flip the pages and get all sides into the same scan. It's not the same thing, but it is sufficient.

Of course... That's the purpose of the document feeder. Additionally, it can scan both sides of the paper automatically. If you're comparing features on printers, make sure they can also do this. This feature is called 'duplexer'. FYI- I'm just as happy with this printer since I purchased it. I couldn't be happier.

It has duplex printing (as long as you set the print properties for that) and it's supposed to have duplex copying, but I've never used that feature.
