I am using a HP Envy 4527. Is it possible to reduce an A4 double sided sheet to A5 double sided directly from the printer. I'm sure it must be possible but I'm doing something wrong!! Thank you

Welcome to the HP Community --

 

I cannot find anything that says A5 is supported as 2-sided.

Your printer -- you likely know better than I.

 

What if?

 

The User Guide explains how to Copy a 2-sided to 2-sided document -- The notation says "Fit" negates using the action -- that might mean that other Resize options would also not work as expected. (Pages 20-21)

 

You could instead (of Copy) try printing your A4 document (saved on your computer, for example) with a print app / software that allows you to reduce the size (for example, 50%) - Print on A4 > Reduce size - cut printed paper in half.

 

OR

Scan > Save > Print with available app or print software for your Operating System / version.

 

Example - Windows - Adobe Reader DC - PDF print

PDF_Reader_Main_Menu_Border_6PDF_Reader_Main_Menu_Border_6
