Scanning multiple photos - HP Officejet Pro 6970

[AGSLEAP]

I'm have a HP Officejet Pro 6970, I’ve previously scanned a bulk of photos individually via the flatbed which took a long time about 150 photos. I have 100's more photo's that I want to scan and catalogue, is there an attachment, whereby I can scan an number of photos at one time, I'm mindful of using the ADF feeder, as they might get stuck.

I am not aware of a consumer available "attachment" to use with a printer for this purpose.

That does not mean there is not such a device.

If more than one photo will fit on the flatbed with enough space between the photos to let the software detect the boundaries, use HP Scan to detect and scan more than one photo at a time and then save each scanned photo as a separate file.

Example - HP Scan - Main menu - Save as JPEG

Printer Software - Installation

>>>>> Installation Package - Information and Download <<<<<

HP Easy Start Printer Setup Software 

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

Preparation

• If the printer software is still / already installed, Uninstall the printer software  from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features > Restart the computer and log in – Reference Uninstall HP printer software and drivers

After the printer software is uninstalled, check that the printer is not still lurking in Devices and Printers. 

 If the printer is listed, Right-Click on the printer and "Remove" > Restart the computer and sign in.

• If using VPN, shut it off to install software.  NOTE >> If you don’t know what this is, you are not using a VPN – ignore this part.

• Reminder:  If using USB cable between printer and computer, disconnect the cable before installing software.  Later... Connect the cable when instructed (near the end of the installation procedure).

• Observation:  It is possible (assuming your Wireless Network is stable) that using a Wireless connection to install the printer software might work better than using an Ethernet Connection.   Personal choice - the Wireless connection method is recommended when you face insurmountable issues installing the software.

Installation

• 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)
• Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator”
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

If using Easy Start

• Skip any extra software / offers you do not want – Wording varies as does the number of times you have to “skip” or opt-out of various options.
• When asked, opt for "Full Software and Drivers" (exact wording might vary).
• Easy_Start_Full_Driver_2

• If, after the Full Software and Drivers option is selected, the installation terminates (suddenly stops and disappears – never comes back): Open your Downloads folder > Look for and Right-Click on the full Web installation package and “Run as Administrator”
