Scanning Your Documents

[Newby]

I have a basic HP Photosmart Printer/Scanner. I have not had much of a need to scan up to this point. When I use the scanner feature it looks like it will only print and save one page at a time so if I want to print a five page document, then I actually have 5 separate files. Can someone tell me if I am doing something wrong. If I am correct, then I will look for a better scanner with the features I need. Just being able to save one page docs is a big pain.

You need a good paper management software like Paperport. If your scanner is a sheet fed it should take at least 10 pages at a time but if it is a flatbed you will always have to do one at a time and then stack them with the software.

That is my son Brandon. He is 11 now. I raised all my children out of my office until they started school.

Insurance is in my family's blood. My Grandfather was an insurance agent and my dad still is.

THanks man you didnt have to do that. that is really nice of you. I actually got my shipment confirmation email from amazon today and should be here on the 7th. i cant wait. thanks again for the video.

Just an update. It doe scan pictures. I just never notice the option. I hate scanning anything on a flatbed scanner. You will love this scanner.

Dude, Mark,

that was the fastest I think I ever seen anything scanned!

Impressive

You should see it scan 20 pages in about 1 min. Double sided also.


This scanner has been a life saver. Makes it easy to make anything into a pdf.

I scan everything now.

I scan everything now.

Please stick one of your insect buddies in it. I'd love a scanned picture of a mantis.

Here is a video I made that shows how fast it scans multi pages. You can also scan hundreds of pages at a time, just by using this trick. Which is, put in about 20 pages and when it is almost done, stick in another 20 pages.

When my grandfather died, the family was fighting over the family pics that he had. I scan each pic one at a time on a flatbed scanner. It took me months. How I wished I had something like this back then.

I use to have to scan one doc page at a time and then add them all together. Sure did suck.

Thanks think im going with that fujitsu as well. Is the non twain driver really a set back with insurance offices? Id assume as long as u can edit the pdf to lets say create continuous statements while bothersome is an acceptable sacrifice

Scanners are a waste of time... Get an Efax and fax the documents to yourself... They will in turn come to your email in PDF or TIF format...

You can get a free efax at K7 Unified Messaging, free Fax and voicemail to email.

How is the quality of the efax/K7? Is it as good as a scanned document?

Faxing stuff to yourself takes longer than scanning AND has less quality. On the other hand, it is simple.

Faxing to yourself is an extra step...bad advise imo...as you still need a scanner or fax to input any paper doc into your system.

That scanner is awesome. I use a Lexmark all in one now and it takes forever to scan documents.
I would love to get this but spending $400 is a little much. But, I'm sure I'll break, it sounds worth it
