MFP-M281fdw
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Is there a smarter app for scanning ?

The document feeder for scanning on the MFP-M281fdw works great BUT it does exactly what I ask it to do  . . . which is to scan page by page.  Great when scanning single-sided pages 🙂

 

Not great when scanning double-sided pages -  I have to go go into Scan Result and re-order pages in their correct order.

Not too difficult when its a 4 page document, but more than 4 pages and re-ordering pages becomes a chore.   And doesn't help when the app displays the displayed page number exactly over where most page numbers appear in print so you can't easily see the actual page number.

 

I just wondered whether there was a smart app that could be configured to scan easily, then automatically re-order pages to the correct order.  Surely it can't be difficult to do (?)

Hi,

This is something offered by the HP Scan software.

 

Follow HP Easy Start below to install your HP Full Feature Printer and Software for your printer:

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/HPEasyStart_9_5_3891_33.exe

 

Once completing the installation open the printer software and select the Scan Tab.

Click Scan a Document or Photo and select Save as PDF.

Click More > and locate the Page Sides option, from there you may select manual 2-sided scanning.

 

The software will guide you to reload the other side and complete the scan, then the pages will be re-ordered correctly.

 

Regards,

Shlomi
