2 sided printing

[Lilveg]

I’m using a model 8130e printer. I’m trying to print a double sided document through the paper feeder on top. There are only 2 options 1 to 1 or 1 to 2. My previous printer had a print option 2-2 which would read both sides of document and print both sides. I have been able to accomplish by lifting the lid and flipping the document. I really would like to put the document in the feeder and print both sides.

Welcome to the HP Community --

True --

The OfficeJet Pro 81xx(e) series does include limitations not found in the OfficeJet Pro 91xx(e) series.

From your description I believe you commenting on COPY.

I agree that your printer does not support 2-sided COPY to 2-sided COPY.

What can the printer do?

The specifications that I've read do not say that COPY 2-sided to 2-sided is supported.

Instead the Copy option is described as "Sided" -- Apparently not the same animal.

Copier Settings

Number of Copies; Sided; Lighter/Darker; Resize; Quality; Paper Size; Paper Type; Collate

More "2-sided" stuff

The OfficeJet Pro 81xx(e)a series supports single sided ADF scan.

Scan Type

Flatbed, 1-sided ADF

The printer supports 2-sided printing on supported paper at supported sizes

Features (facet)

Automatic document feeder; Two-sided printing; Scan to email; Fax; Front USB flash drive port; Touchscreen

The printer supports single sided ADF scan -- 2-sided Scan can be made slightly less irritating by installing the full driver printer software (Windows) and using HP Scan / HP Universal Scan -- On printers that do not support 2-sided scanning, there is a "2-sided (manual)" option that instructs how to scan one side, flip and return paper to scan the 2nd side.

Example - HP Universal Scan / new format HP Scan - PDF - Menu and More > Destination

HP_Universal_Scan_PDF_More_Destination_1

How to check which options and features are supported

You can double check what the printer can do - that is, the supported features and options - using the Embedded Web Server (EWS).

For example,

There are sections for Copy, Scan, and Print.
