can this do 2-sided SCANNING? (I know it does 2-sided printing but my question is different)

You sure can. In the application's scan settings, check the box called "Prompt for Additional Pages" which allows you to scan multiple document pages and save as a single file.

device does not support automatic 2-sided scanning, so Heath's manual method should work... this device is overrated due to lack of this automated feature.

I use FinePrint and am pleased with that software. However, it does require that the hardware to which it is sending its output does support double-sided printing and in this case, the HP does not. Sorry!

Yes, this printer's normal function is for one side... If you want 2 sided printing you must insert the page back into the paper tray, printed side up with the top of the page inserted first, close the tray then click print for the other side to print out.

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.

Yes, it does do double-sided printing. It's a great printer. Very happy with this product!!

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.

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 can scan using the auto feed.. I don't know if it can do double sided scanning using the auto feed

I have only used it for documents. But I did put a few receipts and half size sheets of paper through which it scans but saved as a full sheet of paper. I can say it scans both sides simultaneously. Best of luck!

I can't say for sure. I guess you could try making sure that the printer is set up for 2 sided printing. I once owned one of these printers. It was the worst printer I ever owned. I wish you luck, and I sincerely hope I was of some assistance to you.

Yes it does print on 2 sides. This printer is great and has many features like 2 sided printing that come handy. Was a great purchase.

Nope! You will have to print all odd pages then reload it and print all even pages in other to get double sided prints.

It does not have a duplexer, so no, it cannot print double-sided. It does have "double-side driver support" which means its smart enough to pause and tell you to put the paper back to print on the other side. Pretty lame.

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 was unable to try "2 sided copying" on the photosmart all in one. The photosmart suddenly stopped working. Good luck, I hope someone else is able to answer your question.

No, it only has one sensor so it will only scan one side at a time. The software does allow you to combine those scans into a single document.

No. This is strictly a printer. As a rule I advise people to avoid multi-function equipment. They are notoriously unreliable compared to single function equipment. If you need both scanning and printing functions it's much easier to replace/repair/upgrade one without effecting the other.
