Scanning Multiple Photos

I want to scan multiple photos, one after the other. How do I do that without having to go back to the beginning each time, ie got to File/Import/WIA Support, etc

You can scan directly into the Organizer but need to do the set-up in Prefs from the Organizer menu:
Edit >> Preferences >> Scanner
Then use the menu:
File >> Get Photos >> From Scanner (Ctrl+U)
Your scanner software will launch on top of the Organizer.

Want to scan multiple photos on HP c309 series as individual files; the box to allow is greyed out.

I'm using an HP Photosmart C309A All in one. I use Windows 7. I have multiple photos to scan and want them to scan as individual files. I did that previously several months ago with no problem. The box which should allow me to do so is not available to check. It is grayed out.
Anything to try would be appreciated.

Hi @Mamusworld,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you want to scan multiple photos on your HP Photosmart c309 as individual files, but the box to allow it is greyed out. I am happy to help!
This sounds as if there is a driver/software issue with your printer software. I would recommend the following:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Re-install using the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Hope this helps, and have a great day!

How to scan multiple photos into separate

I have a hp envy 5660. I often have to scan multiple photos and on my old printer it would show them as individual files on the scan page. I can't figure out how to do that with this printer. I want to scan multiple photos, have them save as individual phhotos so I can print them out on 4 x 6 photo paper. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi @bird22557,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are wondering how to scan multiple photos into separate files with your HP Envy 5660 printer on Windows 7. I am happy to look into this scanning issue for you!
I would recommend to go through this how to scan guide, Scan from Windows 7 With the Full Feature HP Software for HP Multifunction Printers, you can try with HP software or without HP software. As there are multiple ways of scanning.
For future reference, here is your printer's user guide as well, HP ENVY 5660 e-All-in-One Printer User guides.
Hope this helps, and thank you for posting!

Hi @kmjamj
Running the Print and Scan Doctor might help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:
Connectivity:
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test: Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
Driver Check: Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager: Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online: Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue: Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match: Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts: Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Ink Issues: Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings: Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
Test Print: Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
Scan Tests: Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.
Source:Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows
Click here to download and run the Print and Scan Doctor> www.hp.com/go/tools
If that does not resolve the issue, post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Scan in mutiple photos in one file, can I crop multiple photos...

at same time?
I don't know how to scan multiple photos as distinct file. I scan 5-6 pics it comes out at one file that I import into iPhoto. While it's very easy to crop each photo out of the file, I have to import the file as many times as there are photos
to crop.
I hope I've been clear. Is there a smarter way to work. I don't see a way to scan
the 5-6 pics as different files in my scanner software.
Thanks

Joshua:
Vuescan is a 3rd party scanning application which can do batch scanning but is a little more difficult to set up. It works with most scanners.
If you have a Canon scanner you can scan in multiple photos at one time and have the scanner software crop, not as close as I'd like, each one individually and present to you in the editor of your choice or the one that comes with it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Multiple scanning of photos

Soooooo, since I've learned that my Officejet 4500 and other printers with the "newer" drivers don't scan multimple photos and separate them out as my old HP Officejet J6480. My question now is -
IS THERE A HP SCANNER/PRINTER THAT WILL DO THIS EFFICIENTLY?? or do I have to go over to Cannon or Lexmark or somethiing?
And, no --- the odd - break-it-apart 'solution' offered is not what I call efficent. I wan'na stick'em on the glass, and pick them up the way I used to.

Thanks for your feedback.
This feature has been implemented in 2013/2014 HP Printers, where you can scan multiple photos at a time.
Some of the models I remember
HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Printer
HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One Printer
Officejet 8620/30/50
All HP's latest printers support this feature

Is there an all in one printer that allows me to scan multiple pictures at one time and put them directly into iPhoto?

I am looking to replace an old HP psc 2210 all in one printer with a new all in one that will let me scan multiple photos at one time and put them directly into iPhoto. Dos anyone have suggestions for a printer that will do this?

I use an HP Photosmart, but most scanners will scan multiple photo's. I just make sure in the scan preferences, I tick the box to "Detect Seperate Items". I normaly scan 6 to 8 photo's at a time, size depending on how many I can fit on the scanner bed. I set the preferences to scan directly to iPhoto.
Hope this helps.

The Best Way To Edit Multiple Photos On One Scan

Hi...
I would like to know what the best way to edit out photo’s from a scan that has multiple photo’s?
It seems like I must make a duplicate of the scan, in the amount of photos, on that one scan and then crop each “duplication”.
Is there some other way that is better?
Any suggestion, comments and opinions will be appreciated
Thank you in advance...

Catharsis:
If you're using Canon's Canoscan Toolbox application to scan the photos try deleting its preference file, com.canon.CanoScan Toolbox 5.0.plist, and try again.
In the CanoScan window make sure Select Source is Platen, Scan mode is Color (Mulit-scan) as seen in the screenshot below. That will crop and save each photo to its own file.

AiO remote can't send multiple photos to camera roll

After scanning 25 photos using AiO remote I want to send them to camera roll, but have to send each photo one at a time?
I can press edit which allows me to select all, but this does nothing, except DELETE? Also can't email multiples or send them to Dropbox in multiples, is that weird or what?
Any know how to contact HP about this? It does need fixing.

@StanTheManII
Thank you for your feedback regarding the AiO app. I will be sure to direct this to the AiO app team.
In answer to your questions....
The app is working as designed. There is no current option to allow to multiple seletions to be copied to the gallery. The current design is to be done one at a time.
When emailing an attachment, you need to:
     1. make sure that your email is set up
     2. tap the share button while viewing the image, document or saved file
     3. tap email, compe and send the meail message
This allows for only the one image, document or file to be attached to the email. Again, the app is working as designed.
Again, I will direct your feedback regarding the additional features to the AiO app. Thank you for taking the time to post.

Scanning multiple pages in one document

I am trying to scan multiple pages in one document. I am using a HP Envy 4501 All-in-one and running Windows 8.1. I used to be able to do this at one point but for some reason, lately I am not able to. I have read other posts that spoke of a "+" sign on the left side of the screen, but it is not there for me. Also, I cannot just save the page and scan the next without having to save them under different file names. Please advise.
This question was solved.

Hi,
From the HP Software click on Scan a Document or Photo and ensure the Sow Scan Preview is checked.
Reduce the Scan Resolution into 300 or a lower resolution and press on Scan, then the add button should appear again.

SCANNING MULTIPLE PAGES TO SINGLE DOCUMENT ON 8620 FLAT GLASS

Does the HP Officejet Pro 8620 have the capability to scan multiple pages into a single document using the flat glass and not the auto feeder?
Use this when I want to scan a package or any item that won't fit through the auto feeder.
My Officejet Pro 8600 at work does by using a promptor after each page scannned that asks if there are more pages remaining to scan to same document.
If the answer is no, do I have to return my 8620 and purchase an 8600?
Jackimo

Hi Jackimo,
A such can be done by launching the scan from the HP software on your PC.
Open the HP Officejet 8620 software and clcik on Scan a Document or Photo.
Select the PDF option, ensure the scan resolution is set as 300 or below and the Scan Source is set as Flatbed Glass.
As well ensure the Show Scan Preview option is checked and click on Scan.
Use the Plus button below the scan preview to scan additional pages from the glass, click on Save once you are done.

Scanning multiple pages to single file

I have the HP Officejet Pro 8600. I use to be able to scan multiple pages to one file. For some reason now it separates the pages into single files. Under advanced settings it looks like the option "create a separate file for each scanned page" is checked, however, it is not highlighted so I can't change it or uncheck it.

KB-Sales,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
Assuming a recent Windows Operating System and that you install the Full Feature Software (printer software), then you may use the Printer Assistant shortcut to access Scan Document or Photo.
From there, you may be able to use / create a Scan Template to combine files to output to a final, single file.
The following Dragon Document may help:
Scan_Multiple_Documents-Combine
Note the hint about creating your own Shortcut / Template in the instructions.

Scan multiple pages from 5520 to windows 8

I own an HP 5520 all in one. I recently bought a new Dell all in one computer with Windows 8 OS. I am having problems with scanning. I need to be able to scan two or more pages into a single PDF document. The app indicated for SCAN on this new fangled layout of where the apps are (they don't even call it a desktop anymore) opens a and of course all of teh ancillary funbctions of te app are hifdden or disguised somewhere on the page. After an hour of tryig to get the **bleep** thing to scan multiple pages into a single PDF document, I gave up. This sucks. I just want my old set up for the scan feature that allowed me to add as many pages as I wanted to a single PDF document. **bleep**!

Hi Kevin,
Well, bleep. Don't you just hate it when simple stuff turns into rocket science.
The fact of it is that the Full Feature Software is supposed to provide a shortcut on the Desktop - that Printer Assistant shortcut is supposed to be full of printer utilities, one of which is the "Scan Document or Photo". Just to make it more interesting, the Printer Assistant is not NAMED the Printer Assistant; it will be named for your printer: Photosmart 5520 or something.
Install Full Feature Software – Photosmart 5520 Series
Assuming the software installs and that the Full Feature Software that installs provides some version of the program that provides it, the Scan sub-routine does (in those cases) provide the means to scan multiple pages to a single PDF file.
Failing THAT, there is yet hope -- because one of our Experts found a program that will do the job.
See:
Scan_Multiple_Documents-Combine
I hope this works.
