Scan multiple pages using HP Envy 5660

[Dvortex]

Hello @dstrobel,

Thanks for reaching out!

Yes, you can add multiple page scan in MAC as well. But this printer does not have a document feeder and hence you will have to add one page after the other while you scan.

I would suggest you buy a printer with an "Automatic document feeder" (ADF) if you are planning to scan multiple pages. ADF allows you to easily scan / copy multiple pages with one click. Just look for a printer which has an ADF at the top of the printer. You can check few printers here: http://hp.care/2f5b1Pm

Hope that answers your question. Let me know!

I am trying to use the scan option on my mac, but it will not allow me to open the scanner. It says Error _9923

HOW???  I read the manual which said, briefly and not very helpfully, "Start from your computer, not the screen on the printer."  So I found the HP Scan Utility on my MAC, opened it, and tried to fill in everything useful. Then I laboriously scanned 44 sheets one-by-one.  End result? I was totally unable to save those scans at all.  They are TIFFs, not PDFs, for one thing, and in any event no matter what I filled out in the "Prefix," "Tags," destination, folder, and other options, the "Save" function stayed resolutely grayed out.  This was a 40-minute chunk of time that was completely fruitless.

I can't find anything that says, "Show Scan Previow option".  I have been trying for about an hour now to scan multiple pages.  Sometimes i can, sometimes i can't.  The printer has a mind of its own.  Do printers fly?  I'm on the 44 floor.

This is very frustrating.  The so-called "helpful" responses don't help at all.

I'm on an Apple MacBook, and the descriptions given in prior responses don't apply.  I don't have an option to "Scan a document or photo."  I don't have a "Show Scan Preview" option.  I don't have a "plus" button, and I can't "save."

When I open the HP icon, I have one option for scanning: "Scanner."  When I go to that, this is what I see:

If I click Scan, all it does is one page.

I totally agree.  VERY frustrating.

I also would like to know where the scan preview option is located.  Scanner seems to "trim" my photos.

Where is the preview button? I cannot find.

@dstrobel is exactly right! If the Envy can’t add multiple pages to a single scan from a Mac, JUST COME RIGHT AND SAY SO, @dvortex, instead of dodging around. And if it CAN be done, then give clear, precise, detailed instructions.

Go to a Mac, and write your instructions from the steps you actually take.
