copying 2 sided original to 2 sided copy using the document feeder on a hp 8025e

[georgel9]

Hello! I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e printer and I really need help with copying double-sided documents using the Automatic Document Feeder. The ORIGINAL document itself that I want to copy is already double-sided and I want to make an exact replica of it. However, when I go to the Two-Sided options in the copy settings, the options are only 1-Sided to 1-Sided and 2-Sided to 1-Sided.

There is no 2-Sided to 2-Sided to make a replica of the original double-sided document. There is not even a 1-Sided to 2-sided to make two documents into one double-sided document. 

How can you copy a document that is ALREADY DOUBLE-SIDED to make an exact replica of what it already is? Also, how do you make TWO 1-SIDED PAGES to make ONE DOUBLE-SIDED page?

Please respond ASAP. Thank you very much!

I don't have first hand knowledge the exact specifications of the 8025e --

I do know (that) the 8000 series is missing some of the key elements included in the 9000s (for example, OfficeJet Pro 9025e).

For example,

Your printer does not include automatic Scan 2-sided to 2-sided. 

Why? 

The printer mechanics in the 8000s are perhaps different from the printers that support the feature.

The differences might also include limitations on how Copy works.

=============================================

You can easily recheck what is supported on your printer in Copy.

If the printer is on the network,

Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to view / adjust printer features

If the tabs (categories) includes Copy, check the available features.

Details / Example

EWS > HP Document / How-to

Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)

NOTE:  Find printer IP address

Section Open the EWS over a local network orientation

Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Copy > Settings > Default Settings / Copy Defaults

EWS_9025_Copy_Defaults_6

What to do?

Use HP Scan (part of the full driver printer software) --

Scan the document in the ADF as a PDF file

Set Page Sides = 2 - sided (manual)

Scan all front pages - Flip and reload stack into the ADF -

Scan the back pages -

HP Scan will reorder the pages so they are in the correct order.

Save the content into a new PDF file

Open the saved file in a program or app that prints PDF (for example, HP Smart) -

Print the document two-sided

Example - HP Scan - Save as PDF - Menu - More > Destination

9025_HP_Scan_Menu_PDF_More_Destination_9

Example - HP Smart - Windows - Simple PDF Print

HP_Smart_Win_PDF_Print_8
