Hi,
I have a HP Smart Tank Plus 551. I can scan multiple pages into one PDF when using HP Smart but I cannot figure out how to do it with EWS. How do I do that?
Thanks.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
If your printer EWS supports Webscan,
Webscan can be configured to scan from the glass or -- if supported -- the ADF on the printer
Additional Webscan features depend on the printer model.
Webscan – located in the Embedded Web Server (EWS) – No additional software
This option requires a network connection and EWS
EWS > HP Document / How-to
Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)
NOTE: Webscan feature is not available on Laser printers
If the printer is on the network,
If the EWS feature is available on your printer,
First Time Use Only: Enable Webscan
- Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar
- Tab Settings > Security > Administrator Settings > Enable >> Check box next to Webscan
- Click Apply to save any changes
Use Webscan
- Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar
- Tab Scan > Webscan
- Set up Webscan the way you want it - for example, set the Source to ADF
- Click Start Scan to scan your document / image using Webscan
- After the scan is complete, Save the scan to your computer.

Just realized I have another problem with EWS scan. When I scan with EWS, a new tab opens in Chrome browser and displays the document I have scanned. I can print it fine. However, if I click the Download icon, the download fails. Says "failed - network error".
So two issues with EWS scanning now. Can't download and cannot add multiple pages.

Can't help with Chrome browser - I've not used it for a long time.
I'd guess a printer selection or a permission problem. ??

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have enabled EWS scan in security settings, I can scan and print an EWS scan fine. Just cannot download or add pages.
Looks like my Webscan settings are different from yours. I do not have a Source setting. See below.
