Scanning Multiple pictures

[Sweathog66]

Dows anyone know if the new software that comes with the printers will allow you to scan multiple pictures at once and save each picture individually?  Thinking about getting a new printer and won't spend until I can find one thatdoes.

I have a Photosmart Premium C309g that stopped working and cannot get parts.  The HP Solution Center that come with the printer let me scan multiples and save them all individualy.

I tried on our old Photosmart 5520 and the Printer Assistant that came with that will only scann all the pictures into a single image.

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Support Community.

The software should allow you to scan multiple photos.

Check out this example:

HP Deskjet 2652 & 2655 : Scan Multiple Photos with Auto Crop

Hope that helps!

Assuming your Photosmart Full Feature Software is installed (likely), try / consider adding the following scan alternative:

  HP Scan Extended 

Download, save, and install to use.  Exceptional free HP scan program:  HP Scan Extended features include (and are not limited to): Single, Multiple scans, Image and PDF scans, Email as PDF / JPEG, Source selection, Page Size choices include Auto-Detect (extracts image / document boundary).  May include OCR (Save as Editable Text).

NOTES

• HPSE is an older subset of the printer software; features are very similar to scan software included in 2015 or newer Full Feature Software packages.
• If you have the newer version of the scan software inside your Full Feature Software, use that: Printer Assistant shortcut icon on Desktop (named for printer) > Scan a document or image (wording varies).
• Although the HPSE program works as a separate program, HPSE is dependent on the infrastructure provided by the printer software. The Full Feature Software for your printer should be installed before installing HPSE.

Install the software

Optional:  Add HP Scan Extended shortcut to Taskbar / Send to Desktop / Pin to Start

Open File Explorer > Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\HP Scan Extended\bin

Right-Click HPScan.exe > Select Pin to Taskbar / Send to Desktop / Pin to Start

Open HP Scan Extended

Place the photos on the printer glass - arrange with at least about a half inch between photos

Set Page Size to Auto Detect Size

Check the other settings, including options in More > Destination

Note: Destination is where you can change the "scan" name prefix and (if desired) add the date / time designator to the name function.

Example
HP_Scan_Extended_Shortcut_1.
