I want to copy some sheet music (that I purchased) that's two sided onto two-sided copies.  With my old printer, I printed a page at a time and manually inserted the sheets back into the machine.  My new printer has a "duplex" feature.   Is there a more efficient way to make two-sided copies of documents that aren't stored on my desktop computer?

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Forums.

 

The duplex is for printing, the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)  does not copy/scan duplex i.e. it scan/opy 1 side at a time.

 

So you will still need to reinsert the document into the ADF to copy/scan the 2nd side.

 

Make a 2-sided copy

1. Load the original print side up into the document feeder, or load the original print side down on the right front corner of the scanner glass.

 

2. Specify number of copies and settings.

● From the Home screen, touch Copy . Flick to the desired number of copies.

● If the value for the 2–Sided option is 1:1, touch to select 1:2.

● Touch (Settings), scroll through the options, and then touch Resize to make sure Actual is selected. NOTE: The 2-sided function does not work if the Fit to Page option is selected.

● From the Settings screen, specify paper size, paper type, quality, or other settings.

● Touch (Back) to return to the Copy screen.

 

3. Touch Black or Color to start the copy job.

 

4. When prompted, load the second original and touch OK.

 

Here's the Userguide, refer to Page 41 for 2-sided copy.
