Welcome to the HP English Community --
Unfortunately,
This printer model series does not include automatic duplex (2-sided) printing or scanning.
Duplex Print Options | Manual (driver support provided) |
Scan Type | Flatbed only |
"Driver support provided" is included for the full driver printer software (Windows). Driver Support does not mean automatic 2-sided printing. There is a limited "reorder pages" feature. Not relevant to HP Smart (Windows or Mobile).
HP Smart - Mobile - does not include "driver support" -- you must print the front side(s), flip, reload paper, and add the page(s) you want to print on the 2nd side.
True - not ideal.
The limitation is hardware - the printer mechanics do not support automatic duplex (2-sided).
Similar model(s) and same method -- HP Smart Mobile
