I read that it does manual duplex as opposed to automatic. Does it at least prompt you to flip pages over?

Yes, it does and waits for you to do it. So if you decide to go two pages, instead, you have to press a button to tell it to go ahead and print.

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.

I am not sure but I think its automatic because there is no switch/button/command to make it a manual option

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 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.

no. The bottom section is the paper drawer, then door above is the manual feed slot for envelopes, individual sheets of paper, etc. One quick note, this printer does auto duplex when printing(bonus :-) I though all duplexing was manual on this model), then if you are scanning or copying 2 sided documents, you have to manually "duplex"

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.).

Thank you for your quick reply. What about the MF4690? I posted a similar question regarding that one. It seems much newer. Does it happen to have a function that somehow supports duplex scanning, without having to *manually* re-order the pages?

I have not tried duplex scanning, but YES, it does copy from the document feeder on top, it scans from the document feeder on top, and also both scans and copies from the plate.

Yes. The user guide says max 40 pages. Only one sided -- doesn't have a duplexer so can't flip the pages over to read the other side.

No--it doesn't automatically duplex COPIES. I suspect that for PRINTING you could (as most printers now do) -- print the even pages, then flip over the stack, and have it print the second. BTW--be cautious which one you buy. I THOUGHT I was getting a second M1217 (wifi), and ended up with a M1212--non-wifi. Somehow on the list of suppliers, this one snuck in. Nasty trick. Oh well.

Yes...not a problem. When the software responds to print the page, go to print properties and select duplex.

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

I haven't attempted a duplex scan so I don't know whether it does or not. It will make copies.

I received my Dialpad and it was doing the same thing, so I was wanting to return it, but I contacted the seller and was told to look at the back of it, the Mode is set on Auto, so you will switch it to Move and that will stop the "Auto Answer"

I purchased the duplexer for an Officejet 8610, and it works great, even with tabloid sized paper. HP's web site says all three versions of the Officejet 8600 have an automatic duplexer.

It can do duplex printing manually but not automatically. Have to flip it over for the the other side to print.
