2-sided copy on 6830

[drsOH]

Trying to make a 2-sided copy  from a 2-sided original using the automatic feeder. The control panel only offers choices of 1 to 1 and 1 to 2.  Neither choice provides a 2-sided copy. How do you get a 2 to 2 copy?

Hello @drsOH,

I would like to assist you today with 2-sided copying on your HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer. Now, because your machine actually doesn't have a duplex assembly in the Automatic Document Feeder, what you need to do is the following:

1. Load page 1 on the flatbed glass on your printer
2. Select the Copy menu
3. Select the 1:2 sided option
4. Choose Black or Colour copy
5. The first page will copy and you will receive the prompt on the display of your printer to load page 2
6. Lift the flatbed cover and ensure that page 2 is face down on the flatbed glass
7. Select OK on the screen of your printer
8. The copied page will automatically feed back into the printer and the second page will be duplex copied.

If you would like to automatically duplex (2-sided) copy documents using the Automatic Document Feeder than you will need a printer that has a duplex Automatic Document Feeder.

I hope this helps clear up any confusion. Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Forums! Good luck! 🙂

My HP Officejet Pro 6830 (All in One) just recently began making 2 sided copies of all print jobs I send from my computer.  I can't figure out how to set it to make one sided copies.  My user's manual has nothing in it it about copying.  Please help!

Hey @blonde-one,

Welcome to the HP Support Forums!

I see that your HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer is printing all print jobs as double-sided documents. I'd like to assist you today with resolving this issue. We'll need to adjust a setting on the computer to reconfigure your printer for single-sided print jobs. 

• In order for me to accurately guide you to the setting that needs to be adjusted, I do need to know what operating system your computer is running? If you're not sure, please see here for help: What's my OS?

Once I know what your operating system is I'll be happy to guide you to a solution. I look forward to hearing from you! 🙂

I have a MAC...OS-X Yosimite

How can I make 2 sided copies when I am printing from Word (2008 for Mac)?

If printing somethng from the internet a totally different print box comes up where I can set the print for 2-sided. Not so when I am using Word. Very annoying. 

Thanks for your assistance.
