Hi @r-p-l,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

The HP OfficeJet 5255 does not have a physical “Scan Both Sides” button because it does not support automatic duplex scanning. It only has a single-sided scanner (flatbed and ADF for one side at a time).

How to Scan Both Sides (Manual Duplex)

You can still scan both sides manually:

  • Open HP Smart or your scanning software.
  • Scan the first side.
  • Flip the page and scan the second side.
  • Use the app’s Combine Pages or Add Page option to merge them into one PDF.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have an amazing day!
