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.

It does duplex-it can do 2-to-1, 1-to-2, 2-to-2 (no add ons or anything needed). It will also collate if you set it right via either print or copy (i.e. each 20 page document is in order not 20 copies of page 1 then 20 of page 2, etc.)

Of course... That's the purpose of the document feeder. Additionally, it can scan both sides of the paper automatically. If you're comparing features on printers, make sure they can also do this. This feature is called 'duplexer'. FYI- I'm just as happy with this printer since I purchased it. I couldn't be happier.

What's up Michael? I truly apologize for the long wait, sometimes these smartphones have minds of their own, you know. Anyway to answer your question, if you purchased a Samsung Multifunction printer, it has to feature a duplex system. With this feature, mechanisms will automatically turn over a sheet of paper so that the machine can print (or scan) on both sides of the paper. I'm not really sure but it dosen't hurt to ask questions! Hey man i hope this helps you!

Oops! Please delete my earlier response. I believe D is for duplex printing, but i'm not sure about scanning! Am so sorry that I didn't think twice about the question. I suggest you google-it for that specific model.

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'm not sure how I got included in the reply group--don't own, did not review. However, in the description the following text should answer the question. I can't imagine ADF would work for copy but not for scan--because, in effect, scan precedes copy. Fast and convenient walk-up copying either using the 50-page auto document feeder

Yes, I use my laser printer for these cards and I'm able to print on both sides, but it depends on the printer. One of my printers does not have a problem with duplex, my other one does

It scans fairly quickly but I'm not sure how to put that into context. I don't ever find myself waiting on it like I did with my old scanners. I'd say it takes 2~3 seconds for a full page but I haven't actually timed it - may be faster than that. You can print double sided automatically [duplex printing is supported].

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.

LoveGadgets nailed it; it does not give you the option of two-sided printing when you reach the dialog box for printing a document or file. Technically, you can do double-sided if you print the even pages, go to the printer, replace them in the tray, and then print the odd pages. But I don't think that's what most people look for when asking about double-sided print capability. I just returned mine having discovered this, and having confirmed with HP support that indeed it does not have automatic two-sided (duplex) print options. So don't be fooled. http://h71016.www7.hp.com/html/pdfs/LJPro_400_Color_M451.pdf LoveGadgets nailed it; it does not give you the option of two-sided printing when you reach the dialog box for printing a document or file.

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.

it takes two passes, but the printer will suck pull it back in and re-route the paper itself. It is automatic, and it can scan both sides, but it does require the printer to make two passes to do it, unlike some ADF printers which have a scan head on both sides which can scan both sides of the page in one pass. this printer is not like that, it takes two passes, but you don't have to touch it, flip it, or re-seat the paper.

As the previous answers say, the ADF does copy both sides automatically (provided you have it set to do that.) For me, it handles most copier and bond paper well. The problems I have had are with coated (glossy) magazine paper. Paper that is too thin or too thick will not feed properly, so those have to be scanned manually on the flatbed. Even coated paper that is "just right" will sometimes misfeed and have to be redone. Thick material like some journal covers also have to be manually scanned on the flatbed.

Yes it does automatically print on both sides (auto duplex). I've used this printer in my law firm for a few months and have not only been extremely pleased, but impressed.

No - unfortunately not do duplex scanning. I assumed it did when I purchased it. I should have been as smart as you to ask.It is a great all-in-one for everything else, but just lacks that one feature.

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?
