I have a HP 3050 J610 printer that will not allow me to scan multiple pages then store them in one file so that when I email the documents, I only have to attach one file that includes all pages. It only allows me to scan 1 page at a time and that page has to be filed before another page can be scanned and filed.

Hi @John3050,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

It sounds like you're trying to scan multiple pages into a single PDF or multi-page document, but the HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer is only allowing single-page scans at a time. This can happen if the scanner is not set up to use the correct scan settings or software that supports multi-page scanning.

Here’s what you can try.

Use HP Scan Software (HP Scan or HP Smart)

• Open HP Smart or HP Scan on your computer.
• Select Scan and choose the document type (PDF or other format).
• Look for the Multi-Page option or Scan to PDF. This should allow you to add pages to the same document.
• After scanning the first page, there should be an option to add another page to the same file without saving it first.

Check the Scanner Settings

• In the HP Scan software, go to Settings or Preferences and make sure the option for scanning multiple pages into one file (usually listed under PDF options) is enabled.
• Ensure that the "Save as One File" option is selected when you start scanning.

Use a PDF Editor After Scanning (if Needed)

• If your scanner doesn’t support multi-page scans in one go, you can scan each page individually and then combine them into a single PDF using software like Adobe Acrobat or PDFsam (a free tool).
• After scanning all pages, open the scanned files in the PDF editor and merge them into one document.

These steps should help you scan multiple pages into a single document for easy emailing.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
