Ability to alternate between flatbed and ADF during a scan job

[MartyWorld]

On earlier driver software it was able to automatically detect whether to use the ADF and flatbed during scan jobs.  This was a useful function when scanning lots of pages as I was able to feed plain sheets in the ADF, then use the flatbed for odd size receipts.

Since a software "úpgrade" about a year ago, the scanner user interface changed and I'm now forced to choose between ADF or flatbed for the whole scan job.  The quality of the display is also a downgrade as there is now only a small button on the left to add further pages.

Is it possible to go back to the old driver software for the scanner at least?

I use the printer from multiple computers Windows 10 & 7 both now have the problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Forums.

Can you try this alternative scan solution:

HP Scan Extended

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/scanners/HPScanExt/HPScanExt.msi

Once it's downloaded and installed, go to Start > All Programs > HP > HP Scan Extended > Run "HP Scan Extended"

Let us know if that works.

You should be able to select the "Source" before you start scanning when you "Add pages".

Hope that helps!

The HP Scan Extended software works perfectly and solves my problem.  Thank you so much for your prompt reply.
