I know that the printer offers double-sided (duplex) functionality with ADF, but does the duplex and ADF functionality also apply to scanning and copying? That is, if I have a 2-sided document to scan, with the printer automatically scan both sides?...

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.

Yes it can. When you're printing just go in the settings and look for 2 sided printing or duplex. It will be called one or the other.

No, you want the 6505/DN (the D in the model indicates it's a duplex model) This is sort of a standard with most printer manufacturers. (D normally Duplex Printing (not necessarily duplex adf scanning, W normally is wireless and N is normally wired networking)

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.

As I thought, EPSON provides software that will assist with this. I pulled this from the online manual:"You can scan a 2-sided document using the ADF. First you scan the odd-numbered pages, then you turn the document over and scan the even-numbered pages. Then you can use the Editing Page window to automatically sort the pages."Great scanner. About 10 times faster than one of those "all in one" units that I've tried.

No. It does not have a duplex unit. It has what it calls a "manual duplex mode" that is controlled by the software. It prints your first sides of your pages, waits for you to flip the pages and load them on the manual feed tray, and then prints the second side. At least I'm pretty sure that's how it works as we haven't tried it yet.

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].

No, it does not. It seems to support some manual duplex option (i.e., it'll print one side, then you put the pages in the other way, and it'll print the other side). But you can ALWAYS do that through software options, and it doesn't have any auto-duplexing in the hardware side, like more expensive or more feature-competitive printers would.

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.

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

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.).

I purchased the printer and it does do duplex scanning. In addition to the single scanning glass inside the machine itself, there is a document feeder tray on top that I've used to scan 3-4 pages (give or take) at a time.

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.

Any idea how many sheets the ADF can hold for scanning and faxing? Someone wrote that it only holds a single sheet, but I can't believe a MFP now only accommodates a single sheet at a time?

I just came across this post and don't have this particular printer but usually settings like duplex are driver settings, either set as the default or set on a job-by-job basis. Only if you want every or most print jobs to print duplex would you set duplex as default; otherwise click on print properties each time you print to override the defaults. Similar story to print quality; set default to draft to save ink and only change when needed to print a higher quality document.

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.

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.
