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...

With Windows 8.1 When you select "print" a window pops up and on it is a "Properties" option is shown. Click on that and "Additional Features" come up. Click on the features you want to use such as "duplex printing" and click "OK" and the screen returns to the "Print" page and click on "print" box and it will print on both sides of the paper.

Yes, I do not use frequently so not my default. You can select print ->print both sides (2 sided) very easy and efficient. Printer automatically feeds first printed page (side 1) back into the printer to be printed on side 2. I am extremely satisfied with the quality and performance of this printer.

Yes, load up your double sided originals in the copier/scanner auto-feeder up top and away you go. Each page is auto-fed and each side scanned simultaneously ...no flipping by the operator or the machine. Business scanning is now a breeze.

Yes, it does truly print double-sided, automatically! I love this feature. No more standing at the printer trying to figure out which way to feed the paper to print on the opposite side. It's so easy now! And if I need single sided printing, it just takes one click to change in the print dialogue box.

the MF8580cdw prints on both sides automatically without having to flip the pages and holds more paper. i have both printers.

Under the listed features in printer properties it says "Double sided printing: no." This is with the latest drivers installed on a Windows 8 machine.

When you select "print" from the File menu of whatever application you're printing your document from, you have the option to select whether or not you want double-sided printing. It doesn't print double-sided by default--you have to check that box.

Yes and No. I'll explain,This is the single sided model, it will print the back side if you turn the printed page over. The software included with it does offer DUPLEX printing as an option. In that mode it will print ever other page, (odd numbered) then you turn the printed pages over & it will print the even numbered pages. A neat feature, but a two step process. There is a higher priced model that automatically prints both sides, but I really like this model as I don't need dual sided printing often.

No it can not do automatic two-sided printing (duplex printing). If you lower the print quality then it becomes fast. If you max out the quality then it can become dead slow (like many other printers out there I would say that this is normal)... So it's neither fast nor slow. It's hard to give an example to the print quality and the corresponding speed here. Try to find some video reviews to see some examples or take a look at the PPM (page per minute) numbers that could be found over the internet (manufacturer page, review pages, etc.).

Not automatically (this is not a duplex printer, this is simplex)! If you want to print on both sides of a paper, first you should wait for one side to finish, grab the paper from the output tray and put it back into input tray to print to the other side as well.

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.

Ok, After I bought it I read somewhere it was. so I tried fiddling with it to print two sides and thats when I discovered that "No, It is not a Duplex (Two Sided) Printer" Sorry to break your spirits. It is awesome though.

If you're willing to use a manual technique and you use Windows (not a Mac) then the driver supports two-sided printing with a manual step. It's super easy. Just tell the print driver you want it double sided, print it, then grab the stack of paper printed, drop it into the new paper tray the same way you removed it from the top of the printer, and hit the continue button on the printer. Works perfectly. All pages are in the correct sequence and orientation.

HP's page says "manual" duplex, "driver support provided." I have no idea what that means. Perhaps that you print all odd pages, then re-insert and print even ones? Not convenient. I know from experience.

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.

Need the duplexer installed on the back of the printer(mine came with it in the box). Would depend on the OS print dialog, but somewhere in the printing preferences there is a place where you can specify 2-sided as default..I put long edge. But if you do not do that, when you hit "print" also there would be in the printing dialog box that comes up a way to do it for that print job usually under options or properties there would be a way to specify 2-sided for that particular print job.

I've used the printer for printing legal sized documents quite a bit, and it works just fine. The printer does not have a duplexer, however. Manually turning the pages is necessary to print on both sides of a sheet.
