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

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.

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

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:

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Hi,
Unfortunately any HP Software component (HP Toolbox, HP Scan, etc.) for this product support 32-bit envoirnment only.
As you may find by the User Guide, only basic Print and Scan drivers provided for 64-bit (Page 14):

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!
Thanks,
Nils

Schedule 4 jobs for conversion scan

We upgrade 46C to ECC6+EHP4.
When run "Table w/o language info", We are told by SAP there will be 4 jobs for this scan.
Anyway I can only see one job to be defined, i.e. it does NOT pop up the second, 3rd, 4th job
to be defined.
Could you please tell me why?
Thanks

Hi,
please have a look at the Unicode conversion Guide:
Excerpt (begin):
Select Schedule Worker Jobs from the toolbar, and then set the time and date for the worker job.
You can run multiple jobs simultaneously, but you must add a suffix to the second and all subsequent jobs.
Excerpt (end):
Hence you have to change the job name (add a suffix) if you want to run several jobs.
Best regards,
Nils Buerckel

You need a new battery.

Drivers for duplex printing?

does anyone know how to find drivers for duplex printing?

If your printer has the ability to shuffle the pages and print on both sides in one pass, duplexing is in the appropriate Driver for your Printer.
If your printer cannot already do this, you need to do part of it manually, it takes a lot of fiddling, but the key features required are the ability to Print:
• Odd Pages
• Even Pages
• specified pages in reverse order.
Every standard Mac OS X printer Driver supports these already.
Reverse Order is a checkbox on the Layout menu on your "Print" page.
Odd or even or all is an option on the Paper Handling menu in your "Print" page.
For my face-up feeding, face-down delivering Printer, I use a little saying to help me remember:
"First, print to Odd pages evenly (in normal order) [then shuffle Output to Input for the second side]
Then, print the Even Pages Oddly (in Reverse order) [and if the paper does not jam, fronts and backs will be correct]"
Your procedure will probably be different. I had to draw myself a lot of little diagrams of stacks of paper to figure it all out, and without my little saying, I would have to find that page of drawings (or re-create it from fundamental principles) to be able to print on both sides.

Please help! New PC with Windows 7, now won't give option for duplex Color Laserjet 2605dn

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help. I have an HP Color Laserjet 2605dn, and after 4 years with a Dell laptop (and Windows XP) I had to get a new computer, this one with Windows 7. When I plugged in the printer for the first time, it loaded drivers and seemed to work great - EXCEPT there is NO option for duplex printing in the effects or finishing areas. So I went to the HP website and downloaded the Universal Print Driver, which DOES have duplex, but it won't print to the 2605dn printer!!!
I am ready to throw this out the window. I don't recommend buying anything new while you have PMS...hahahaha. Seriously, if someone could help, my stress level would drop dramatically. I print a lot, and not doing it duplex would waste so much paper!
Thanks in advance.

Enable the duplexer as described in the Vista / Windows 7 Duplex Troubleshooting Guide as follows: go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the printer, Printer properties, Device settings, Installable Options, set the "Duplex unit for 2-sided printing" to installed, OK.

How to configure and save presets for custom scanning?

There are 5 presets in Acrobat XI for scanning files: "Autodetect...", "Black &White...", "Grayscale...", "Color Doc...", and "Color Image".
There is also an option to to do a "Custom Scan..." and "Configure Presets" (modify the 5 above).
However, I could not find any way to create my own custom presets.. is that not possible?
I was hoping to at least save my configuration(and/or possibly create a few different custom scan templates) in the Custom Scan for future scans but that was also not an option.
I would gladly use the 5 presets and configure them to how I want them but its unfortunate there are no output options there to automatically append a scan to an existing file or create multiple files from a continuous scan.
So... 1) Can you create custom presets for scanning? 2) Is there a way to configure output options in the existing scan presets? Thanks!

Pavanmeet,
you have to set all activities in the workflow to "general task" as well, not only for WS12300111 itself (doubleclick on each symbol with the "triangle").
check the status of the sent leave request in transaction PTARQ (Display Documents). Here the "next agent" & the "pers. no" of the next agent is of interest.
logon with the user, that is saved in infotype 0105 of the above mentioned pers.no. there should be the approve request.
you can check the status of the workitems with SWI1 (i assume your system is prepared for workflows , check SWU3)
