How to scan both sides of an ID Card and save it as an one-page PDF

[CopyCat86]

Hi Community,

I want to know how can I scan both sides of an ID card, and save the scanned file as an one-page PDF for electronic distribution? I know that HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color MFP M276nw (my current printer) allows me to copy both sides of an ID card onto a single-sided printout (according to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxo-k7ocby0), but that method is an one-time thing and does not allow me to save the scan in my Mac/PC. Is it that my printer model does not support the ID scan function? Or if there is simply no solution to this for all HP Printers?

Please help 🙂 Thanks in advance.
