Does it scan multiple pages into the computer as one document or as separate single pages? Or can it do both?

It can definitely handle scanning multiple pages into a single document. I believe it can scan multiple pages and place each one into a different document, but I have not yet had the need for that. ** I will amend my answer to say that it can scan multiple pages into one document as long as you select a target that supports multiple pages: PDF or TIFF, not PNG or JPG. I checked the software configuration, and there are two options for PDFs and TIFFs: "Create a file with all pages" or "Select number to make file" - the second one requires specifying a number. Based on my reading it looks like the number is the number of pages it will bundle together to create a new document. By default, this is "1" -- so each page becomes its own document.

It scans multiple pages as one document. I'm not sure if if you can do it as separate documents. You probably would have to put the pages in the scanner separately to do separate documents

You can do both if you want. There is a way to separate Fter you have scanned. I just scan those that are part of one document as I find it easier for me. It really is a nice machine.

As one document. However, you can easily can them as separate documents by scanning and saving separate piles.

No, you can't scan several pages as one doc, but PDF pages can be merged into one file.

Yes. It scans both sides in one pass. You have to select this option in the scanner dialog box. It does a great job but it takes a little practice to get the documents straight into the paper slot.

yes. After scanning the first page, put the next page on screen and click "scan" instead of "exit". They will appear as separate pages on the screen, but will be combined when saved to a folder. I've only done this with pdf's but it probably works for anything else too.

No, it will not. It scans only one page at a time and will allow you to save each page on the scanning device, flash drive, or media card.

you can only scan one side at a time. scan twice if you want to crop two different parts of a doc....

It will scan the whole thing but if you scan it and save it as a pdf file, then use the snapshot tool in Adobe Reader to select the items you want to keep. Copy those to a drawing/photo blank document. Save it. Works like a charm.

Yes, I have scanned 20-25 pages of different sizes into a single PDF. Need to be carefull with placement of pages in feeder to avoid jams.

The scan feature on this model lets you scan to a folder on your PC, not to directly to email. I have my printer connected by cable directly to my wifi router as is my computers and you can program multiple computer destinations on the machine. There is no problem scanning multiple pages into a single PDF, or tiff. You can also scan to jpeg and other formats. We love our Samsung!

It does have a document feeder, not sure how many pages it will handle at one time. Not related to scanning, I do have problems with the paper feed feeding multiple (sometimes up to five pages at a time) when printing though, this is very problematic if you have a limited amount of paper (ie, specialty paper).

Yes, it will scan multiple pages, and front and back of two sided. The scanning software "toolbox" allows you to easily change the settings each time you scan. It'll scan the multiple pages and output them either as one document or as single pages if you're scanning several different documents at once such as several bills.

No. You have to scan one side and then the other. It's easy to use the software to combine them into one document, though.

I am not sure what you are asking but I placed 2 pictures on the scanner with a small space between them and the scanner detected both pictures. It scanned each picture as a separate scan and placed the two pictures in my designated folder. I also tried this test. I placed a document on the scanner that had two separate pictures on the page with space between them. It scanned the entire page as one scan. Hope this answers your question.

I'm a bit confused by your question. The scanner and copier functions operate independently of one another. I use Paperport software(supplied free with the MFC8950DW!) to manage all documents scanned to my computer from the AIO. All scanned documents go directly to the Paperport folder I select before beginning the scanning process. Paperport is a fantastic piece of software. You can scan any number of documents, with as many pages as you have, to any folder you select in Paperport. If you place something in the wrong folder it's a simple matter to drag and drop it from one folder to another. If you accidentally scan two documents together Paperport allows you to split the documents into two separate stacks in the software. I hope this answers your question.

No you can scan one page at a time. There is a free window 8 app that will allow you to combine multiple pdfs into a single file.

It will scan the full scanning bed. I scan as many as 9 items at once, but of course it depends on the size. However, if you want to view them individually it's easier and quicker to scan them one at a time, rather than breaking up a single composite scan into individual elements. Hope this helps.

You will physically flip each page of the book. It goes pretty quick. I've found I can scan about 100 pages in an hour. The software has a feature that alternates every other scanned page 180 degrees. This way, your document is right side up through out once you're done scanning, even though you are rotating your book 180 degrees with each page turn.
