HP Officejet 6950
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I've recently changed laptop changing from WIndows 7 to WIndows 10.

The Windows 7 application for the HP Officejet 6950 had a feature allowing to scan pages printed both sides using the Manual feed and scanning first the Odd pages, then reverse the pages in the manual feed keeping them in the same order and scan the odd pages to have then the scanner software correctly sort all pages and create a pdf.

Now on WIndows 10 there is only the HP SMART software which unfortunately does not have the feature.

Is there any way to have the same feature?

Is there any manual way to do this without having to scan manually page by page front and back?

Thanks

Sabrina

Hi @Sabrina_cs

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the  "How to scan both sides" issue. 

 

Install the Full-featured drivers for your printer software and drivers page

 

To scan both sides follow the instructions below-

 

Change settings in HP Scan before you complete a scan job.

 

Selecting a shortcut and making sure settings are correct for the scan job

  1. Scan Shortcuts

  2. Show Viewer After Scan checkbox

  3. Source options

  4. Scan settings

  5. More

  1. Select a Scan Shortcut, such as Save as PDF or Email as JPEG.

  2. Select the Show Viewer After Scan check box.

  3. If your printer has both a document feeder and scanner glass, select Document Feeder if loaded under Source.

  4. Make sure the other settings such as Page Size, Color Mode, and Page Sides match your scan job.

    NOTE: 

    If you want to scan both sides and 2-sided scanning is not an option, you can add pages to your scan later.

  5. Click More to change advanced settings, such as Resolution (ppi), Orientation, Destination, and File Name.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
