Does the software of this device support duplex scanning? I know the device's hardware does not support duplex scanning, but I was wondering if its software does.

Yes, but it is a two-pass process. You feed the automatic document feeder the documents to scan then you have to flip them to scan the other side. The software automatically adjusts appropriately to have the opposite sides correspond in page number order to the first side scanned (if side 1 of the first sheet --the first image scanned-- is the first page and side two of the first sheet is the second page the end result is their images will appear in that page-order even though side 2 of the first sheet is the last image scanned).

According to the MP NAvigator software that comes with it you can do a Duplex batch scan. I've never actually done it, but it appears to put it all together.

I have not used it, but I believe so, as it supports 2-sided scanning. This should be easy to determine from HPs website.Be aware, though, that 2-sided anything requires that paper go through the duplexer. This is no problem for printing, because you are using pristine paper. For scanning though if the paper has been folded or is dog-eared or very thin it is likely to jam the duplexer.If you need to copy originals like these, you need a *real* 2-sided scanner that does not need a duplexer.

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.

You can also manually scan double-sided pages. The software leads you through the process. Very easy to do.

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

Not always. I have a macbook pro and one of the main reasons I got this printer is to use the full duplex scanning feature since I keep most of my documents in electronic format. I used to use the pdfscanner app with an epson printer. I love the pdfscanner app. It does not seem to work with this printer. I then started using the included HP software to use the scanner. I works for me about 40% of the time. Basically, I have to power cycle the printer a few times. Then if that doesn't work, I power cycle my laptop and eventually the HP software might be able to connect so that I can scan something! I've had no issue printing. I've had lots of issues scanning. I'm planning to return this printer for this very reason.

If that means put a stack of papers in the top tray to be scanned, then yes. If not, I don't know what automatic duplex scanning is. :)

I think its only double sided on printing and not scanning. You would need to either glass scan or adf the item in and turn it over if your using paperport. Paper port if you use the wizard has a "button to scan other side" so is not auto double side scanning. You gotta add a couple hundred on bother MFC's for auto dual scanning.

i have this printer and love it! but it is just a printer and to my knowledge, it does not scan pages. it will automatically print on both sides (it does this very well), but if you discover how to make it scan i would be interested to learn how.

Thanks for this info - that definitely shows that the MF4150 has some awareness for the need to do duplex copying.My next question would be: Can the software that comes with the scanner allow you to scan one side of 30 pages, then scan the other side of the same 30 pages, then the software will generate a PDF that orders the pages correctly?

I don't know, I don't use the software. Software comes with the scanner, you might try that first and see how that works for you.

When scanning are you running it through the document feeder or scanning from the glass? As regards scanning to other PCs are the units you are trying to scan to all connected via a network?

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?

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

My fault on this post response. I purchased the ADS1500W Scanner as well as the MFC-9330CDW Printer. The scanner was for a colleague, and I thought you were referring to the printer with your question. Yes, the scanner does double sided scanning.

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.
