You would select the 2-sided copy feature so that you don't have to re-insert the copied paper. However, you DO have to turn the original since there is no document feeder. It's done with a very nice user interface telling you exactly what to do and when to turn the original. This is really a very nice printer. I've had 4 Canon printers over the last 25 years and they have performed well and last a long time.

It will do double sided printing quite nicely, but not double sided copying unless you save the copy as a document first and then print it. I am still quite happy with the 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.

I would really like to hear from users who actually run heavy stock on this printer, not sure anyone's chimed in in that regard. As to "I also print on the back side- jammed with 2nd side? ": if you refeed paper into a printer to print the back you may well get jams. The paper dries out and the paper handling becomes iffy. That's one reason why printers like this have a "duplex" feature with a dedicated 2-side printing function: you should not have any trouble printing two sides using duplex.Although: with heavy stock? Maybe. That's why user input would be appreciated. I would really like to hear from users who actually run heavy stock on this printer, not sure anyone's chimed in in that regard.

If you pull up a document, you will see the same document on two monitors. You will not be able to move documents between monitors. That is what I wanted to do. This product will not let you do what you want to do. I thought, perhaps, I just needed to download a driver. So, I went to their website. And, their website did not work.

The 8710 can print (i.e., a print job sent from your computer) double-sided, but to copy double-sided you'd have to scan one side, then feed the printed sheet the correct way into the a paper tray to print the opposite side. I've done it for years, but it's a real nuisance for more than just a few sheets. The MFC8910DW advertises duplex copying and scanning, meaning that you could feed the original into the automatic feeder and produce two-sided copies. See http://www.brother-usa.com/MFC/ModelCompare/4/MFC8710DW_MFC8910DW for feature comparisons.

It copies two at the same time. But you have the option to copy only one if you want.

It is my thought that this printer will not copy on both sides at the same time. I do not require that application for my own use. Would be best to check more expensive printer for that option.

It does not automatically print on both sides. You can manually turn the paper to print in the other side however. I have found this to be a minor inconvenience. The printer is very good quality; fast and prints well.

It does great double sided printing...I do it all the time and am very happy with it. I haven't tried to do copies that way so I cannot say for sure about that.

Auto Duplex Copy allows you to make double sided copies without having to print one side first and then flip the paper and print the second side. It's cool actually to have this feature and have the printer do it for you. I don't know what you mean by 2-sided scans. It can only scan one side at a time and you have to turn your paper over if you want to scan the other side. Hope that helps.

I have had success printing one check or two checks at a time on a new sheet. The issue I have had is when I try to print just one check and there is just one check left on the sheet it dont line up right. ...idk why it does it. I normally make sure I got three checks that need printing. If you get the checks printed with lines on them you could always just write the lone one by hand

you can only scan one side at a time. scan twice if you want to crop two different parts of a doc....

Hi there, if you mean by printing on both sides the answer is YES but it is done manually. Once you've installed the HP software and want to print something, in the Printing Preferences you select "Print on both sides (Manually)" your document will print first pages 1, 3, 5, etc. then you'll have to place those pages back into the document feeder, press the Continue button, and then it will print pages 2, 4, 6, etc. It's not like the very expensive and lightning fast printers we have at work for example where you can see the pages go in then back and printed on the other side but the HP LaserJet Pro M1217nfw is a very nice printer, small, affordable, with WiFi and great for home printing.

If what you re asking is can you copy papers, you can copy anything you want but if you want to print something that is not in the computer, you'll have to scan them first then print.

when doing auto duplex you have to flip the page to the other side if you want to print both sides of a 1 page double sided document. It will not automatically print a 2 sided page. Does that answer your question?

The white and yellow both are one sided (the copy only works if both are on the correct side) so yes you can write on both sides and it'll only pass through if both pages have the correct side up. You print each page (white and yellow) individually.
