How to scan multiple photos and save to separate files

[Alfano_UK]

Hi,

I am trying to scan lots of family photos and save them as individual files. On my old HP printer that no longer supported it was  easy. I cant work out how to do it on the new one using HP Smart with a HP Office Jet 8014

Welcome to the HP Community.

HP Smart includes a "detect boundaries" that I've never been able to use for this purpose - it appears to be for a single scanned image.  Meh.  I might be using it wrong.  ?

What works?

"HP Scan" is part of the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software.

HP Scan can likely do what you need / want using Scan to Save as JPEG > Page Size = Detect Photos (exact wording might vary).

Detect Photos can find the boundaries on your individual photos placed on the printer glass.

Be sure to leave a bit of space between the photos - maybe an inch (centimeter)...

Check / Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software

Your printer software installation package

HP OfficeJet 8010 All-in-One Print and Scan Driver and Accessories 

Printer Software – Blocked in Security Software

Check your Security Software to make sure the printer software is not being blocked.  Most Security software will allow you to make an exception for applications / software you want to use on your computer.

If you make changes to the security software setup, Restart your computer and log in.

If the software is already installed and / or is installed and is not working...

Uninstall Existing Printer Software (Full Feature Software)

Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features >

Find / Select > Uninstall the printer software

Restart the computer and log in

If software will not uninstall, appears to be removed and is “still hanging around” after you uninstall / Restart...

Microsoft:  Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed

OR

Revo Uninstaller (Free version)

then

Restart the computer and log in

Basic Instructions - Install the Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software

• If using VPN, shut it off to install software
• Download and Save the Full Feature Software installation package or the Easy Start wrapper
• Open File Explorer
• Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file  (likely Downloads)
• Reminder:  If using USB cable between printer and computer, disconnect the cable before installing software.
• Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator”
• If using Easy Start > When asked, opt for "Full Driver" (exact wording might vary).
• If using Easy Start > Skip any extra software / offers you do not want (wording varies).
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

After the software is installed,

Shortcuts are added to your Desktop - one for the Printer Assistant and one for HP Scan

Example - Desktop icons - Printer Assistant / HP Scan

Programs_and_Features_Printer_Desktop_Icons_4

Example - HP Scan - Menu - Scan Image(s) - Page Size = Detect Photos

9025_HP_Scan_menu_JPEG_More_Image_All_3

Reminder

When setting / adjusting, check the other tabs / sections in "More" - Adjust / Click OK as necessary to change / save

For example,  Main scan menu > More > Section Destination
