Model and model number: HP LaserJet Pro MFP M148fdw
Serial number: [edit]
Product number: 4PA42A
Bought: 19.4.21
I can use the document feeder to copy a batch of documents in one go, but I can't work out how to use the document feeder to scan a batch of documents in one go; instead, I have to scan them one by one on the glass each time, which is very time consuming.
Can anyone tell me please how to use the document feeder to scan a batch of documents in one go?
Thanks!

Welcome to the HP support community.
I understand that you want to scan multiple pages, I am glad to assist you.
Use the HP Smart app to create a PDF of a scanned document.
- Click the Scan tile on the HP Smart app home screen.
- Click Get Started.
- NOTE: The Get Started screen displays when you select Scan, Import, or Camera for the first time.
- Select an option from the top menu bar.
- Scanner: Place the original on the printer scanner glass or into the automatic document feeder (ADF). Select scan job type, size, color, and resolution settings, and then click Scan in the lower right corner.
- Import: Select photos saved on the computer to apply a boundary, and then use the settings to edit, print, and share.
- Camera: Uses the computer camera or a webcam to capture, edit, and print or share a photo or document.
- Adjust the boundaries, by clicking and dragging the blue dots, and then click Apply.
- For multi-page documents, click + Add in the Preview window to return to the Scan window. Load the next page onto the scanner glass or capture it with the camera.
- Repeat this process until all the pages of the document are scanned.
- In the Preview window, click Save or Share, and then change the file name and select Basic PDF as the file type.
- Click Save to save the PDF to a folder on the computer, or click Share for options to email or share the file.
