I purchased a color imageCLASS MF656Cdw from Dell about a week ago. On their information page about the printer it states 1-pass, 2-sided scanning. My plan was to scan a big stack of medical papers to file, portable storage, disc, or Google drive.

How do I do that? Nothing I've tried seems to work. I keep getting a 1 page sheet.

Thank you,

Kat

I have the MF656 as well and the manual was not helpful. I expected a menu like the one in the PRINT menu for selecting double-sided, but the scan option does not have a menu like that. Here is the answer: Insert a USB DRIVE > Place your 2-sided documents in the ADF > Press HOME > Select SCAN > Select USB MEMORY > Scroll Down to 2-SIDED ORIGINAL > Select BOOK TYPE > Press START (B&W or COLOR). What is not obvious is that that the SCAN window SCROLLS to view additional settings and that is where the 2-sided scanning option is selected.

Trying this same process, (as well as the Canon MD Scan Utility settings in the other answer here), and I cannot get my MF656CWD to scan double-sided.
