05/29/13 Does this machine duplex scan without flipping the original to scan the backside? 06/14/13 Purchased the MFC 8710DW machine and it does NOT have dual scan to file. I do like the machine for its quality and I recommend it. Haven't had it very...

Yes, you don't have to do anything special, just press the option for duplicate scan. The machine will copy both sides without you having to flip anything.

I don't scan, so I don't know the whole answer, but it does NOT do duplex copying. For this reason, I kept its predecessor, a DCP8065DN, which lacked fax capability and color.

Yes it prints on both sides of the paper and it does it at the same speed as a one sided print. When I bought this printer I wasn't looking for that feature. I printed a configuration page and under machine setting it says duplex installed. I haven't toyed around with it enough to turn that feature on or off but most programs will have that feature in the print option category.

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.

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.

No. Apparently the 4710 does. This was the Google response to 'brother duplex scanning'.. http://www.brother-usa.com/mfc/Multifunction_With_Duplex_Scanning/

I just bought an MX860 and noticed that, while it can copy and scan 2-sided from the ADF, it cannot *fax* from 2-sided paper. If your originals are 2-sided, you'd have to first copy them 2-sided --> 1-sided, then fax the 1-sided originals.On another discussion thread, someone said they fixed that in the mX870. So now you can fax 2-sided originals from the MX870 ADF.

Well, as of June 2008, there is a post in the CanoScan 8600 vs. 8800 discussion by CM-Monkey (I believe is his moniker) where he reports buying the V500 and the 8800 and his side by side comparison ends with Epson V500 the winner! So, where do we go now with this discussion? I'd rather not have to buy both scanners to do a side by side comparison myself.

Scans multiple pages no issue. Even can accommodate turning over the stack and scanning the other side. When it saves the file, the stack can be scanned and saved as a double sided copy. Works well. I have done close to 20 pages. No problem. I bought it to be more of a scan and send than a printer. I love it as a scanner both documents and pictures.

Yes; it actually takes *three* passes. I tried it out in a local store. It scans the first side, then turns it over and scans the second. Then it turns it over a second time, taking a third pass so that it comes out the same orientation it would have if you were just scanning one side. Presumably, this final pass can be at the full speed, but it does take (waste?) some time. I wish they'd put in a true two-sided scanner. I really like the Epson print quality, but the Brother equivalents offer both one-pass duplex scanning and 11x17 printing which is tempting.

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.

Duplex printing, automatically. Not certain about scanning - didn't see anything in the manual about duplex scanning, but I use a separate ScanSnap scanner for most jobs, so haven't checked it out closely.

I havent figured out how to scan .. I assume there has to be some programming between it and my laptop ... So only use it for printing and copying. Any advice?

K Jansen is correct - the duplex scan process works through the automatic document feeder (ADF). Lots of action!

Have you used this scanner for a mounted 35mm slide? What is the ease of use and the quality of the scan? I am looking for a scanner to scan many, many slides from my father and need ease of use as well as scan quality.Many thanks,Helen

There is a setting, not on the printer itself, but in the software - select HP8600, then "scan a document", then ADF, then check the box for "Scan both sides". Yes, you can do so.

I scan wireless with it and find it fast enough especially when creating pdf with 200 to 300 dpi (good results), and with the ADF it can manage double sided too. Yuo have to start the epson scanner software on the computer first, then operate from the computer, setting pdf or image format, resolution etc, document name and where to save.
