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!

  • 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.
