Welcome to the HP User Community.

Yes, you can scan more than one photo at a time from the printer flatbed.

If you have not done so,

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software

Use HP Scan to scan your photos and save them to your computer

=====================================================================

Printer Software

Full Feature Software / full driver printer software installation package - Information and Download

HP ENVY Photo 7800 All-in-One Print and Scan Driver and Accessories 

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

• If using VPN, shut it off to install software

If the printer software is already installed, uninstall it from Programs and Features > Restart the computer and log in – Reference Uninstall HP printer software and drivers

• Download and Save the Full Feature Software installation package or the Easy Start Software
• 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”

HP Scan

Place little photos face down on the printer flatbed (glass)

Separate each photo by about an inch (or a bit less) - the point is to leave enough room that the software can detect the edges of each photo.

Basic Instructions

Open HP Scan

Select to Save as JPEG

Scan (type) = Photo

Page Size = Detect Photos

Source = Flatbed

Check select other options on the main menu

Click to open More >

Open and peruse / check the sections, including Image and Destination

When you change a setting, if needed, click OK to save that setting and leave the sub-menu

When ready, Click Scan

Example - HP Scan - Main Menu options > More > Sections Image / Destination

You are welcome.

Later, if you like,

HP Smart (Windows) can print more than one photo on a single sheet of paper.
