Is the document feeding double-sided?Could anyone answer this question? I would like the document feeder to support automatic double-sided feeding. Thank you.

Hi jruser,Did you ever get an answer to this question? I have the same question about this printer and the HP Officejet Pro 8600.I can tell you that the Lexmark OfficeEdge Pro5500 can't auto detect the page size and adjust accordingly. You need to set the page size and then it scans the documents. If you have it set to letter and scan something legal sized, it'll cut off the last 3 inches. If you have it set to legal and scan something letter sized, it'll add 3 inches to the bottom in the resulting PDF file.

The printer will cache the scans in memory while waiting for you to flip the pages over and feed it through again, then it will print out the pages. Its a minor step needed to be taken. I thought it would be an issue for me but in the long run it has not been. Having said that if, you are doing a lot of replication you may want to consider a different printer with a duplexing scanner.

It does duplex but very clunky. First you scan one side. Then you flip pages around and scan other side. Then the software prompts you with an Edit button - hit that, and there is a funny looking bi-directional arrow at the bottom that sorts the pages so that they are in the right order. I hate this scanner because it skips pages and doesn't warn you; when that happens and you try this procedure, all your pages will be in a very messed up order. Pay the extra money and get a better scanner if you want to do serious duplex scanning; I just bout the Fujitsu FI6130 and I love it!

The documentation and the manufacturer both say 8.27" which is exactly the width of an A4 size sheet of paper. A4 slightly narrower and longer than our letter paper, and is the standard size of letter sized paper in most of the rest of the world. Unfortunately, North America uses its own imperial system of paper sizes, just like we use inches instead of centimeters and cups instead of liters. Unless someone can confirm that it will actually scan 8.5" I'd be wary of buying this for scanning American documents.

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.

Yes. The scanning function works really well for multiple and 2-sided documents scanned to a single file.

I scanned a 350-page dissertation (typed, double-spaced, one-sided), and it created a 20mb PDF. That was at either 200 dpi or 300 dpi. A similar, 41-page document is 3.8mb. I see that others are creating smaller files. I may have to look at my settings.

I just ran some tests w 11x17. Fits on platen with room to spare. The scanner does pick up the full 11" width. However it seems to stop 5/8" short of the entire length. That is true for both Tabloid 11x17 and A3 settings in the software. Not sure if I am missing something in the software or if this is truly a limitation of this scanner. All other things considered, I am very happy with this unit, and that is after having several Brother MFCs over the years.

Yes, it will scan multiple pages, and front and back of two sided. The scanning software "toolbox" allows you to easily change the settings each time you scan. It'll scan the multiple pages and output them either as one document or as single pages if you're scanning several different documents at once such as several bills.

Yes, you can scan and fax multi pages. No need to do one at a time. You just stack 'em and they feed through. I really love this one so far

yes. any size with in letter / A4 sizes.but only thing is while scanning you need to pull or draw the scanner nicely and smoothly so that the thick papers like business cards doesnt stuck the rollers.However based on the selection of the size of the paper, determines the scanned page. so you may need to crop later. also while scan you make sure that keep the card on a flat surface so that the rollers are pushed / rolled to activate the scan. whatsoever explained here, its slightly tough job. hands on will give you better understanding

No, that is probably the only drawback I have found. A letter width (8.5) is the widest it will scan.

It sure was difficult finding out if this thing "Workforce 600" has full duplex scanning/printing. I guess it does not automatically scan and print double sided documents. No mention of this on the Epson web site. Very frustrating. What Epson All in one machines have this feature, does anyone know?

If you are asking whether you can stack a number of sheets in the feeder to be scanned, the answer is yes (just like the old days of faxing a number of sheets). Here's the info for the 845: Scanner Type: Color flatbed / Automatic two-sided ADF Photoelectric Device: CIS line sensor Optical Resolution: 2400 dpi Hardware Resolution: 2400 x 2400 dpi (maximum) Maximum Resolution: 9600 x 9600 dpi interpolated Scanner Bit Depth: 48-bit color / 24-bit output Features: Scan-to-PC Scan-to-PDF Scan-to-email Scan-to-memory card

It does multi-page scanning, but I haven't figured out how to get the multiple pages into one document. I don't use the fax, but I tried it out, and it works fine.

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).

The only issue I've had with the ADF is if I try to do duplex scanning with wrinkled paper, but that's not a printer defect :)That said, I don't usually scan large documents so I may simply have not hit this issue.
