HP ENVY 7640 2-sided scanning (duplex) using ADF

[Tolled]

I am wondering if the Envy 7640 can do 2-sided scanning (duplex) using the ADF. I am aware that the Officejet software has this capability, but am not sure what software the Envy line carries. This will be the determining factor if I need to get an Officejet over the 7640.

Hi,

Which Officejet are you talking about ? The Envy 7640 can't scan duplex automatically. Software won't make it work because it does not have hardware to do that. You have to do this manualy AFTER scanning the first side (it will give you instructions to put original right way).

Regards.

You have answered my question! Thank you. I should clarify, not necessarily automatically...having it scan one side, then the user (me) putting the stack of papers back into the ADF for the scan of the backsides of all the papers. In which the HP software will then put all the scans in the correct order. The officejet I was referring to is the software that comes with the Officejet 5740.

Hi,

Thanks for the info - I believe the OJ5740 and the Envy 7640 have same specs (or very close). My loan printer (for testing) is an Envy 7640.

The HP software does not seem to support two sided scanning from the Envy 7640 Feeder?

Am I mistaken?

How could HP leave this capability out?

Its a simple thing to do in software.

Scan your X pages, flip over and scan in other side. Let software put in the pages in correct order.

This is a required and yet missing feature from the HP Envy 7640?

My previous Canon Pixma MX 925 had this capbility.

I'm very disappointed that HP Software doesn't seem to have this.
