I'm window 7 user. I tried to use auto duplex printing, but I have to manually feed the paper even the paper located at the auto feed container. Please help me to solve this problem. Any comments are very helpful to me.

On the top left it says OPTIONS.. DUPLEX. Click on duplex. Run your first side. Then it asks: one more page? yes or no. Arrow to yes and add the page you want on the back side. Then click okay. Then it will ask again if you want another page: click no and okay. Works great!!!!

No--it doesn't automatically duplex COPIES. I suspect that for PRINTING you could (as most printers now do) -- print the even pages, then flip over the stack, and have it print the second. BTW--be cautious which one you buy. I THOUGHT I was getting a second M1217 (wifi), and ended up with a M1212--non-wifi. Somehow on the list of suppliers, this one snuck in. Nasty trick. Oh well.

Yes it does automatically print on both sides (auto duplex). I've used this printer in my law firm for a few months and have not only been extremely pleased, but impressed.

Not automatically. You can select "manually print both sides" and it will print the odd pages and then prompt you to reload the paper to print the even pages.

Auto Duplex Copy allows you to make double sided copies without having to print one side first and then flip the paper and print the second side. It's cool actually to have this feature and have the printer do it for you. I don't know what you mean by 2-sided scans. It can only scan one side at a time and you have to turn your paper over if you want to scan the other side. Hope that helps.

It can do duplex printing manually but not automatically. Have to flip it over for the the other side to print.

Duplexing is controlled in the printer menu that can be accessed when you print. The default is that duplexing is off.

With Windows 8.1 When you select "print" a window pops up and on it is a "Properties" option is shown. Click on that and "Additional Features" come up. Click on the features you want to use such as "duplex printing" and click "OK" and the screen returns to the "Print" page and click on "print" box and it will print on both sides of the paper.

Works effortlessly... perfectly... when you select "print" there is a"PREFERENCES" option to click on...Click on that, and several options appear, one of which is "duplex printing".... click on that..then PRINT... the one side prints, there is a ten second pause and that page is retracted into the printer and the second side of same paper is printed...

No, at least not automatically (but you could do it manually). According to the printer's User Guide, "Only plain paper, special paper and thick stock, 60-210 g/m2 (16-55.9 lb bond) can be autoduplexed."

No. Not automatic. You have to print one side and then turn the papers over and print the other side.

no. The bottom section is the paper drawer, then door above is the manual feed slot for envelopes, individual sheets of paper, etc. One quick note, this printer does auto duplex when printing(bonus :-) I though all duplexing was manual on this model), then if you are scanning or copying 2 sided documents, you have to manually "duplex"

I use the Pixima ix6520 regularly. It will do manual duplex printing. First check the duplex box in the print dialog box. It will them print the first page and then bring up another dialog box with instructions on how to turn the first page, and reinsert it into the printer for the second side to print. Just be sure to reinsert the first page exactly as the directions instruct.

Can you also use the auto duplex feature with 5x7 photo prints? I am needing to print double sided invitations on special cardstock and was wondering if I should by normal letter size & cut out or if I was able to just do 5x7 double sided photo paper. Thanks so much in advance!

Adding to @LoveGadgets (correct) comment, Amazon should fix this information in the "Compare to Similar Laser Printers" table. This printer does NOT allow automatic double-sided printing/duplexing. If you (like me) prefer duplexing to wireless, I'd recommend the M451DN printer (http://www.amazon.com/Hewlett-Packard-Laserjet-Enterprise-Printer/dp/B006X2FE1O/)

Yes. It prompts you to insert the output (the front pages) back into the feeder so it can print the back side. It guides you on how to do this. Reading the other responses on this thread, I agree this requires human intervention, but it's not a big deal. I do a lot of double-side printing. It works well. To put this in the proper perspective, this is the same process as for my more expensive HP LaserJet Color 300 which cost twice as much.

I'm surprised, I think the document feeder is the best I've personally experienced of at least 4 printers of different makes. I would tell you about the same as Craig Kuper - thinking it is possibly the type of paper or try one of the techniques to create an air spacing temporarily between the pages. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
