HP OfficeJet Pro 8715
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

We just set up the HP OfficeJet Pro 8715 and I downloaded the software onto my laptop but when I go to scan multiple pages it will not let me save them as one document.  I checked the settings and Merge is disabled but it is grayed out and will not let me check it to enable.  How do I change this as I need to scan 18 pages into one document.

Hi,

 

Please don't ask me why but please try

 

(a) Put document(s) face up on ADF,

(b) Open software and select Scan a Document or Photo,

(c) Select 1-sided or 2-sided for PDF

(d) Click Scan (ignore "Merge"). It will scan page 1, 2 ....

(e) At the end click Save

 

It will save all pages in one PDF file.

 

Regards.

I have done that and it saves them as all individual pages, not as a single document. It creates a folder and each page is it's own document in the file folder.
