Scanning unbound two-sided book pages to keep them in order

[dbarselow]

Hi, it has been years since I last scanned a document and don't remember how to scan pages from book to keep then in numerical order, I want to cut the pages from the book which is in very poor condition, and this is why I am wanting to scan in the first place I am actually saving its life. I will be using my Officejet 6700 all-in-one and I plan on using the automatic feed double sided if it goes well for the first few pages, I don't have any manuals or paper docs for reference, and this is why I am turning to the community. 

Thank you,

Dbarselow

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

This printer does not support automatic 2-sided scanning.

Most printers do not include this nice feature, in fact.

This document explain show to scan 2-sided using your ADF that scans single sided.

The trick is to scan all of the first sides, rotate the paper stack of scanned pages, return the stack to the ADF and "add pages"
