Q: Will this machine copy 2 sided on one pass through?
A: The HP M477fdw is capable of 2-Sided scanning and 2-Sided printing. If you put a 2-Sided document in the ADF then the printer will scan both sides of the document in one pass. When you print out or make a copy of a 2-Sided document then the printer will print out the document on one side first then automatically take the sheet back in, flip it, and print on the other side (the duplex printing option does need to be enabled of course).
A: Yes I had this exact same issue when printing out documents that contained tables. The vertical lines always print out crooked. This happened on 3 different printers that I purchased and I had to return them all. We have no problems printing the same documents on our other printers. I think there is an issue with the M477fdw printer.
A: The HP M477fdw printer actually has some issues with scanning. When you scan documents using the ADF either directly from the printer or using the HP scanning software they will always come out crooked/skewed. If you use the included HP scanning software and select Searchable PDF as the file type then the scanned documents will come out a bit better. This can only be done from the software and not from the printer. Documents that are scanned using the flatbed scanner (directly from the printer or using the scanning software) come out correctly. Most people want to use ADF rather than scanning one page at a time on the flatbed scanner. The included scanning software is ok. The main issue is dealing with the crooked scans. The OCR is done by the 3rd pary software that is is included with the HP Software.
Q: Can this printer print on cardstock?
A: Yes, You must feed it one sheet at a time and not from the supply drawer.
Q: Does this printer come with ink?
A: Comes with starter toner with limited number of copies. We bought toner when we purchased the printer, but have not had to install it yet. The starter toner has lasted quite a while.
Q: Does this printer have a separate feed for envelopes/receipts?
A: No, it does not have a separate tray for envelopes.
Q: How does the toner hold up? Does it use a lot of toner?
A: It holds up as expected. Produces the amount of pages it states on the carton. One thing though, my old printer when it began to get low, I was able to take out the cartridge and shake it and run many more pages. Now when it says it is out, it is out. A great feature is that the printer shuts down when not in use. This saves a lot on the toner as my old printer if you did not manually shut it off, it would cycle through a cleaning and calibration cycle which used up a lot of toner.
A: Yes, it must be an error in the specifications. This model does have automatic duplex printing.
