Does the HP7305 printer do duplex copying or scanning

[BrianTheElder]

I just bought this printer to replace my HP Officejet Pro 6970 All-in-One Printer.

I bought this model because it has a document feeder.

However, I can find no way to do 2-sided to 1-sided copying or scanning 2-sided docs.  I could do both with my old, much cheaper, printer.

Just an update to say I am using Windows 11.

Welcome to the HP English Community --

The old OfficeJet Pro 6970 series did indeed support automatic 2-sided scan --

This printer, not-so-much.

True - things were less expensive "back in the day" -- 

You still get what you pay for -- Today, what you pay for costs more for less.

Sign of the times...

Which Printers still have these features?

Now you need a "top-tier" printer to get automatic 2-sided scan (and perhaps 2-sided Copy, too).

One Example:  OfficeJet Pro 9135e

OK -- According to the documentation,

This printer does not support automatic 2-sided scanning.

According to the documentation,

This printer does not include 2-sided copy > 2-sided copy

The use of term "According to the documentation" is deliberate -- I was burned recently while depending on the documentation for this series to answer a different question.

That said, if you don't find a feature with the printer right in front of you, that feature does not exist.

What else?

 HP Officejet Pro 8025 | 8025e | 8020 | 8035 Printer: Scan 2-sided document using HP Scan 

NOTE: (Use 8025 video for the HP Smart Tank 7305 All-in-One)

HP Scan -- part of the Full Driver printer software for Windows - includes all the options available for the particular printer, including (where appropriate), Page Sides = 2-sided (Manual)

HP Universal Scan -- also part of the full driver OR supported on this printer as a separate software - includes all the options available for the particular printer, including (where appropriate), Page Sides =  2 -sided (Manual)

2-Sided (Manual) can help reduce the pain to "tolerable".

General Example - HP Universal Scan / HP Scan (new format)

-- Reference -  For those reading --

Not your HP Scan?

Some printers still support the older full driver printer software format.

HP Scan is similar to the newer HP Scan format and to HP Universal Scan.

I am disappointed that HP has downgraded this printer.  I thought the ink tanks were a major step forward, but removing full duplex for copying and scanning is a big miss.
