If you have an HP OfficeJet Pro 9015, you'll probably notice quickly that it has an automatic document feeder (or ADF). However, something you probably didn't know is that instead of having to constantly flip 2-sided pages around during a copy job like many other printers, this printer can copy and print in duplex. This article will explain how this copy job type can be completed.
Steps
-
1Make sure there are no prior items in the queue to fax or print, and that all jobs that can disrupt the copying will be complete before you load the items, or that they can start after the copy job is complete.
-
2Place all the 2-sided pages that you'd like copied in the ADF at the top of the device. Slide them in so that they are neatly aligned in one stack and have no staples or paperclips. Stop sliding them in when the paper stops sliding. Your printer can handle holding 35 sheets of paper on the ADF. [1] X Research sourceAdvertisement

3Wait for the dings and for the display to display that you've put paper into the ADF's tray.
-
4Ensure there's enough paper and ink to print all of the sheets. Realize that you're printing on the backsides of the paper too. Your printer can take about a quarter of a ream of paper in its paper tray to use, so it shouldn't need to be reloaded often.
-
5Tap the Copy button on the display. Copy should be shown to the right of the Scan feature - right from the main page of tools - front and prominent.
-
6Tell your printer that you'd like to scan a document. All other methods assume you're scanning from the scanner glass and won't take from your ADF, where your documents are really loaded. Tap the Document option - at the direct left of the list.
-
7Revise the paper output from the "2-sided copying" menu. Your printer will always default to "1->1 Sided" (meaning your printer scans the first side only, then prints that side, then moves onto the next sheet's front and scans its first side then prints on a new sheet of paper), but you can have it scan in the duplex ("2->2 Sided"). You also have "1->2" sided (one page copied twice on the same page, which tends to be used for copying blank notebook pages) and "2->1 Sided" (two pages fit onto the page so that both pages are scanned and printed on the front sheet of the paper, however, that makes text smaller than normal).
-
8Adjust the other option, if necessary. If you'd like, you can also adjust the printer to print in black and white too with the Color/Black menu option.
-
9Adjust the number of copies you'd need done this way. Tap the Copies button to the left of the Copy button in the bottom corner (about mid-center on the bottom, not taken into account the Copy button), then tap the number of copies of each page you'll need from the display's ten-key keyboard, and later tap the Save button in the bottom right corner.
- The Copies box isn't for the total pages you've loaded. It is for the number of output pages necessary for the pages you've loaded.
-
10Avoid messing with the settings button.
-
11Tap the copy button in the bottom right corner of the display. The button is green but has white text and warning information.
-
12Retrieve your original pages first. If they need to be stapled or paper-clipped or hole-punched, you can rest assured that the originals will take center-stage in the spot where your originals generally go.
-
13Retrieve your copies last. Check them over that they were printed in the right order. Your printer will print the front of the page first, for a duplex print, then flip both pages after a short intermission (of drying time) then print and push out the finished product - page two facing up.
- Reprint the copies that were made incorrectly, or proceed to make other copies of other pages using different copying methods - or carry on with other tasks as necessary.
