Duplexing scan jobs 1 side is heavily offset

The offset on one side of the duplex scan printout is too close to the top and you loose a good section off the top of the document. I've performed the Tray2 alignment in Setup Menu, Print Quality, Adjust Alignment using a micrometer and I've got the alignments front and back as perfect as you can get them. If I print a reference page duplex, these do come out as perfect as I could expect. This tells me the image formation and print engine side is good .There will be a little skew from the path expected. But If I take the near perfect alignment test printout and scan it in duplex, one side is horribly offset near the top. I've ran the eDuplex alignment in the secondary menu if you know how to get there but there's no change.
Anyone out there know of any other adjustments/calibrations that can be done to this scanner assy. I do service for another major printer supplier and in their scanner service menus I can adjust all offsets manually as needed to ensure a good, equal image is obtained on both sides.
TIA

Sounds like there is a paper size setting somewhere incorrectly set. Is this a double side scan job (followed by printing, which should be easy to tell in the scanned result)? or a 2-sided copy? Check the paper size in scan or copy settings.

Scan other side is gone! in Acrobat pro 9.0

After replacing a Canon MX-860 with Brother MFC-5860CN the "scan other side" feature has disappeared !
I start by going to "Create" --> PDF from Scanner --> Custom Scan --> I choose "Both sides" under Sides and "Prompt for scanning more pages".The problem is scan other side is not showing up when it's done scanning the pages in the pdf, all I'm getting is "scan is complete" and "scan more pages".
I'm using the ADF and scanning 10 pages at a time.

I have a trick for you. I could get Epson to like my idea and even said it would be easy to implemet, but it went to the circular file, I guess. I wanted a Suffix, thatcould be appened to file names. Not just abcdef###S.pdf. I would have like a varible suffix from zero to n characters as well.
It's not tried an true on Acrobat X cause my ADF is broken and Epson scan has some issues with mixed orientations. Ok, that out of the way.
You can scan the pages with the counter mode and then use a free program called rename master and add a suffix to all of the files like doc0001A.pdf or something and then move it into another directory.
Now scan the back page in a blank directory and then add doc001B.pdf to all of the pages. Check the index to see if they both go to 99 or whatever. When you combine them you will see doc001A.pdf after doc001B.pdf etc.
If there happens to be a feed mistake, you can use Acrobat's rearangeing technique with the bad page or you can use renamemaster and increment the filenames.
Acrobat X will pick them up in alphabetical and can combine into a single document.
You can re-arrange the order in Acrobat, but it's a NIGHTMARE for large documents. You can operate directly on a single directory
I haven't done any two-sided copying at home using this method since my ADF broke and Staples is a mile away. i.e copy with the scanner and then print duplex on the laser printer.
Anyway it works. Only troubes is with the scanner. Mix 8.5 x 11 in portrait and landscape together and you get a real mess with paper size and orientation. No interest in fixing it, but I got a work-around.

Epson: No Duplex Scan with some apps form the mac store

Hallo everyone,
I have an problem with my epson scanner and some apps from the App Store.
My Epson Workforce 3540 can duplex scanning. With Image Capture this works. But with some apps from the appstore, witch uses self-scanning dialogs, and not the image capture dialog, it do not work. I can select duplex scan, the printer scans the first side, change the papger site, and scan the other side, but the application gets only the first side.
I tested one other printer and this worked.
I contact the developer, the said: We use standard apis from apple (ICDeviceBrowser, ICScannerDevice) and their is noch way make a failure. Then I contact Epson and they told me: Contact Apple!
Is this problem new? It must be a driver problem, or? Help!

How to scan both sides of document in color to pdf with the dr-m160?

how to scan both sides of document in color to pdf with the dr-m160?

Hi healthynhappy1.
To scan a 2-sided document, you will need to change the scanner settings in the software.
If you are using Capture On Touch:
You will need to turn off the "Scan in Full Auto" option.
Next, you will open [Scanner Settings] and change the "Scanning Side" to Duplex.
Verify that the [Color Mode] shows "24-bit Color" and when you get the option to save the file, verify the [File Type] shows as "PDF".
If you are using CapturePerfect:
Click [Scan].
Click [Scanner Settings].
Change the [Scan Side] to "Duplex".
Verify that [Color Mode] is set for "Color" and then save the file as "PDF".
I hope that this information is helpful to you. Should you need further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666). Have a great day!

HP 7520 Double sided (duplex) scanning possible? If so, how do I make it work?

How can I scan a doublesided document (A4) with the HP Photosmart 7520?
I Prefer to scan directly to mail but I never see the option to scan the other side of a document. Not only with scan to mail, but also with the other options (scan to computer, USB)
On several reviews I've read the following:
"The Photosmart can print and scan in duplex (both sides of the page), but duplex scanning requires two passes"
But how does that work? I Guess it doesn't mean that I have to make two separate scans (that wouldn't be duplex offcourse).
But at no point i'm given the option to turn the document and resume scanning.
Any ideas on how to use duplex (sort of) scanning with the HP 7520?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The Photosmart 7520 does offer the ability to duplex scan.
Are you scanning from the Front Panel of the printer or from the software on the computer? Duplex scanning has to be initiated from the software.
To duplex scan from the software on the PC:
* Open the HP Printer Assistant software for the Photosmart 7520
* Select Scan a Document or Photo
* Select Document to PDF (or Email as PDF)
* On the right side of the screen is a list of drop down menus and one of them is the source of the scan
* Select to scan from the Automatic Document Feeder
* After selecting this option, a check box will appear below this option to turn on Dulpex scanning
* Set the other options as desired and start the scan
If you are scanning multiple pages that need to be duplex scanned, then the printer will scan the full list of one side and then instruct you on how to reset the pages for scanning the remaining sides. The unit does require a 'flip and resume' style method of duplex scanning. Hope this helps.

Scansoftware for duplex scanning

I hope I'm in the right forum here!
My brand new Lexmark X544 laserprinter can scan, copy and print in duplex automatically. Very handy!
There is however no software provided. Scanback exists - but only for windows.
I can use image capture or preview to scan; it only can't scan duplex.
Does anyone know of software that I could use to scan duplex automatically?
I read of "pdf-scanner" - i'm not sure it can do that.
I have an iMac G5 with Snow Leopard (10.6.8)
Thank you very much in advance.

Dear kurt188,
Thank you for your quick reply!
This is however not what I am looking for.
I can automatically scan up to 30 sheets in a row via the sheetfeeder, no problem, and they will all save into one pdf if I tell him to.
It will only scan one side of the documents, whereas my machine has the ability to scan both sides automatically (duplex). I am only looking for software that can tell the machine to scan both sides.

Duplex scan - laserjet pro 200

I am using a HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw with Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8 Pro
http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Printers/HP-LaserJet/CF145A?HP-LaserJet-Pro-...
What I would like to do is perform duplex scanning with this product. I am currently looking for freeware software which will give me the ability of merge two documents together. I have found some very buggy software which works in linux. Is there a method that will allow me to scan 2-sided documents into a single scan using this product? If not, do you know of a freeware software or HP supported software which will convert two seperate documents into a single document.
-Ryan

Hey Ryan,
Looking at the product specs for this printer I was able to see that it does not support automatic duplex scanning. However, if you open the HP Scan or HP Laserjet Scan software on your PC, then there may be a checkbox at the very bottom right to allow for duplex scanning. The settings will have to be set to the Automatic Document Feeder or ADF for this option to appear.
If this feature is not present, then the next best option will be to use a PDF Merging software as you were mentioning. Take a look at PDF Split and Merge (PDF Sam for short). I will provide a link below to this software download for convenience.

Hope this helps,
Jason

HP Laserjet p3005x - jamming during all duplex print jobs

We have recently aquired a used HP Laserjet p3005x printer that jams under the print cartridge during every duplex print job. The message in the printer log is Event 13.05.00 "Fuser output - Paper late jam"

A batch file was created to restart the spooling service when this happens, but as stated earlier this is not a permanent fix.

Duplex Scanning from Canon MX7600 Not Recognized in Acrobat 9 Pro

I am trying to duplex scan in PDF docs with a new Canon MX7600 scanner. The utility that comes with the printer has a complete duplex scan utility which includes PDF docs, but limits the names to around 28 characters which is not enough for our naming conventions. Also, I cannot scan directly to Secure PDF's. Nor can I set it to automatically ask for Meta Tags.
The Acrobat Create PDF Scan only recognizes or offers the standard set which does not include duplex scanning. Canon tells me that the naming length limitation is built into the software design. They suggested that I contact Adobe and so I am.
How do I get Acrobat 9 Pro to duplex scan directly into Acrobat?
Thanks and all the best, Craig.

They sometimes monitor, particularly in the last month or so. However, most of the answers here come from users. In many cases you might find the answers from users to be more useful than from tech support, unless it is an off the wall problem no one has run into or tried. Typically when you scan from Acrobat, there is a settings selection on the window where you select to scan. That may be where you can find what you want. As far as I know, the information in the settings is only what is made available to Acrobat through the product twain driver.
The other suggestion to try to scan into another product, such as a graphics package, might help you get a better feel of what is possible. You might also check the manual if you have not done that already.

Duplex Scanning with HP7520 on MAC OS X 10.10

Is there a way to scan both sides of a document into a single file? With the prior operating system, this would work if I scanned one side of the document and then fed the second side and used the same document name and checked "Combine into a single document" as a PDF.
With the new operating system, this same process will can into two separate documents.
I appreciate any suggestions Thanks!

When creating a PDF from the scanner, it only scans one side despite the settings.

When creating a PDF from the scanner, it only scans one side. I am using a fi-7160 that supports scanning both sides at once. The Scanner software is configured to scan both sides, and so are the presets in Adobe Acrobat Pro. I've only gotten the setting to work with the Custom Scan setting. Has anyone else had this problem, and what is the solution?
Additionally, the software bundled with the scanner with automatically omit the back sides of a page if it is blank. I am scanning large files with occasional double sided pages. Is there a way to avoid having to manually delete blank pages when creating a new PDF from the scanner? It takes twice as long because I'm using the OCR stabilization.

Hi anne,
Could you please let me know what Acrobat and OS version are you using.
Does this happen in case of any particular PDF or all PDF files?
Try repairing Acrobat and then again check.
Hope to get your response.

Duplex scanning Acrobat 9 Pro

We have Windows XP Professional SP3 and we recently purchased an Epson GT-2500 scanner. When using the EpsonScan utility, duplex scanning works perfectly. But when using Acrobat 9 Professional it will only scan single sided.
I have:
- updated the Acrobat 9 to the latest version (9.5.2)
- updated the Epson scanner drivers
- reinstalled the Acrobat
Before getting the Epson scanner we had an HP and the duplex scanning worked perfectly with it.
I tried to contact Epson tech support, but they only support their products therefore they will not give any support help with the Acrobat.
Thanks...

- setting the Custom Scan to "Show Scanner's Native Interface" works perfectly.
- using the Configure Presets, the User Interface options are grayed out which means I can not change it to "Show Scanner's Native Interface". It is set to "Hide Scanner's Native Interface" and can not be changed, which means duplex printing does not work. If there is a way to change the User Interface setting so that the options can be changed, that would be perfect.
Thanks,
Gray

Acrobat also has settings to specify whether you need Single sided or duplex scanning. So, please try out the setting once.
For Custom Scan, you can specify the setting in the dialog itself and in case you are using Presets, you can configure presets to use your preferences by going to File > Create > PDF From Scanner > Configure Presets http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-4692975-231292/450-599/Untitle d.png ( http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-4692975-231292/Untitled.png )

HP 8600 Pro - Mac Book Air - Scanning both sides - not possible??

Hi,
with my HP 8600 pro it is not possible to scan both sides via my Mac Book Air. I have installed the HP software, but this option is not available.
Does anybody have an idea?
greetz

Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

Duplex scanning on x476dw

Has anyone used the x476 for duplex scanning from the ADF? I have an 8500, which is great for printing and copying, but the duplex scanning is very frustrating. It either doesn't feed or quits in the middle of a large scan so you have to start all over. It is a huge time waster for me.

Hi,
Sounds like a no, based on the following specs:

Java Duplex Scanning?

I am working on the design of a prototype (proof of concept) of a software product. One of the requirements will be "high end" document scanning. I would like to use Java, but am not finding any scanning toolkits or libraries which look to be commercial quality. I have been to the TWAIN gnome web site, and I have to say that is the best I have found so far. My biggest problem with that is Duplex scanning is not supported. I would also like to not lock ourselves into a Win32 client platform, but that is acceptable if there are no other options. We use Fujitsu "high speed" greyscale Scanners, which I believe are Bell and Howell devices based on my previous experience with Bell & Howell scanners.
Are there any commercial scanning toolkits available for Java, which support duplex? I would rather use Java technology than Microsoft (COM, .net, whatever), but am unable to find Java support for scanning.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
