Will it scan a two sided page at once with the ADF or only one side at a time ie. duplex scanning?

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).

It has not done so in any of my scans. In the flatbed scan you can preview and adjust the portion of the document you wish to scan. I do not know if the ADF has a preview option which may allow adjustment of the scanned area, hope this helps.

Not at the same time. You have to feed the card through twice, scanning front and back separately.

This is a terrible product and failed after about 2 uses. I recommend you buy another portable scanner. To answer your question: these type of scanners only scan one side at a time.

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.

This is still a little unclear. I gather from the above that the scanner does not flip the original to scan the other to make a two side copy. What I want to know is it possible to make a two side copy by two sequential single side scans? ... scan one side, scan the other side and then a two sided copy comes out? I would like to do this from the printer front panel, not a computer application.

It does NOT scan in duplex from the flatbed glass. I doubt any scanner does. That would require a 2nd scanner in the folding lid. However, it works great for thick items. There IS hinge flexibility for books, etc. It looks like the hinges flex about 1". And you can always leave it open, like a copier.

I have a Epson Workforce GT-1500. It has an automatic feed feature, but to get both sides of a paper. I put my documents in the automatic feeder and then run them through again with the pages turned over. Mine scans with face up position. It is my understanding of manual duplex scanning is to print on front and then manually turn it over to print on back side.

Hi Vaughn, It is a 1-sided scanner, although the software allows you to connect subsequent scans into one document.

Yes. The pages to be scanned can be loaded in the feeder on top that is also used for copying and faxing. I have not tried two-sided copying or faxing, but single sided scanning, copying, and faxing works well.

I'm not sure how I got included in the reply group--don't own, did not review. However, in the description the following text should answer the question. I can't imagine ADF would work for copy but not for scan--because, in effect, scan precedes copy. Fast and convenient walk-up copying either using the 50-page auto document feeder

This scanner can perform duplex (both sides) scanning. It requires a manual flip of the stack, however. Since I'm not a hi-volume scanner, it's not a serious problem. It's been a problem free scanner for me, but you must evaluate your needs.

Yes. It scans both sides in one pass. You have to select this option in the scanner dialog box. It does a great job but it takes a little practice to get the documents straight into the paper slot.

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.

NO - It will not do a duplex scan from the auto doc feeder. It will duplex print however.

it takes two passes, but the printer will suck pull it back in and re-route the paper itself. It is automatic, and it can scan both sides, but it does require the printer to make two passes to do it, unlike some ADF printers which have a scan head on both sides which can scan both sides of the page in one pass. this printer is not like that, it takes two passes, but you don't have to touch it, flip it, or re-seat the paper.

yes, it does duplex and gives you time to add more pages. You can save as a PDF or jpg file. I really works efficiently and does awesome scans. I would definitely recommend this product.
