Scanning Multiple Pages to One File

HomeBrew2 · Oct 5, 2005

I know you're looking to do the duplexing thing but I have similar types of docs to copy as you and wanted to see how my multifunct HP would handle it. I put 10 loose sheets into the copy tray and had it scan to a pdf file. It ran all sheets thru automatically and, after post processing, created about a 2.5MB file. Took all of 10 minutes, most of which was me just fiddling with the software. I scanned text with line dwgs @ 200dpi, gray scale. Cool.

I just tried the MS Office Doc Imaging program....it adjusts for duplex, even reverse order collation of the second side of the page. Major problem right now is my K series officejet is scanning some pages at different sizes(??) Some scan correctly and everything shows, and some pages are cutting up to a third off....generally a vertical strip...size shows as 6.55 x 9something, and one as 5.55 x 11. Not sure why it should be erratic. Other pages show as 7.5 x 11. None are showing up as 8.5x11.

My scan options are photo, text as image, mixed image. Above was done as mixed image. I'll play a bit more today as I'm down with a sore back anyway. And I will check for any more feedback later. I appreciate everyone's input, and probably wouldn't have gotten this far without it (I'm distracted pretty easily:>) Thank you.

Does your software give you the option to pick the area to be scanned? I know mine automatically picks the area to scan, and it doesn't always use the whole page, so I set the boundaries myself. And I think the Office Imaging came with Office XP.
