Can I scan multiple photos at once
1275655
Yes, one can scan multiple photos at once, provided they all fit on the platen (the glass area under the cover) without overlapping (unless, of course, overlapping images is something that's wanted). Some kind of image editing tool will be needed later, in order to pull the pictures apart into separate files (which is what is usually desired). In some cases (high-resolution scanning), the combined scan of multiple photos will be too big to edit, so scanning them one-at-a-time would be a better approach in that case.

You can scan a whole page of photos if you want but it works out better if you scan individualy because it would be easier to print a single pic or send in an email. That way each picture has it's individual file. I scanned a whole page of photos before and it was hard to go in later and crop out one photo from the group. They don't turn out as clear without doing them one at a time. It will go pretty fast if you get your pics organized first. But if you are trying to scan a page f4om one of the old magnetic picture albums because they are stuck, I would do it anyway because you can tear into the photos trying to get them out, You can scan a whole page of photos if you want but it works out better if you scan individualy because it would be easier to print a single pic or send in an email.

No - in that it doesn't have a document feeder to stack them in (at least that's delivered as standard equipment). However, if you have a number of small pictures, and don't mind them all together in one image (collage fashion) - Then sure, whatever fits on the platter, can be scanned in one pass.

I have only done singles but the tray is large enough for several snapshots. I just don't know how you divide them afterward.

Yes, this scanner has a devise in which you can place several slides and scan - I have not used it. I use this exclusively for scanning photos and the quality is excellent.

I haven't tried that but I do not believe the Epson Scan software will parcel out multiple files from one scan (I don't use the bundled ABBYY or PaperPort software). However, it's a great scanner with a very good sheet-feeder and image quality. You could have the scanner controlled by your own TWAIN-compliant software and let that save each photo separately.

I disagree. You need to have .8-1.0" between each photo and 4-4x6 photos won't fit on the glass with those spaces. You can do 4 manually by selecting the scan area in "normal" mode, but that adds time. It's far easier to do 2 at a time and use "thumbnail" mode to automatically select the scan areas for each photo. It only takes 45-50 seconds to scan 2 at 600 dpi.

I haven't tried that with the scanner, but I would assume so. There are also plenty of freeware out there that allows you to combine multiple images into one pdf document, etc

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 can do this with the provided Epson scanning software. Note that you have to be in Professional Mode to do this. This will be at the very top of the scanning software window. Once you've done your preview scan, create selection marquees around each item you wish to scan separately. After you make each selection, there will be a black line drawn around each one when it is not selected. The one that is active will have the "marching ants" around it. Then just hold down the shift key (on the Mac) and select each of the other items. All should now have separate "marching ants" selection areas around them. When you hit "scan," the scanner will then scan them all and save each one as a separate file. OR, you can do a preview scan with the "thumbnail" box checked (it is at the very bottom of the window.) This will provide you with previews in thumbnail mode of your multiple images and you can check a box for each one you want scanned separately. Also, you can tell it what you want your naming convention to be, what number to start with, etc. prior to scanning. Epson provides great documentation on how to do everything on this scanner. There is a "Help" button in the scan software window which links you to the user manual. Here is a link on how to do: files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/ex10kg/ex10kgrf/howto_4.htm

If you install the Epson Scan software and set it in "Professional Mode", you will be able to preview an entire screen of photos, select each one individually, then choose "All". Each photo will be saved individually. So you scan once, but save multiple photos at the same time. This scanner does not have a negative or slide scanning attachment. Prints only.

Yes, the app will let you view one camera at a time. not both at the same time.

Not that I know about, but if you have a Mac you can use "image capture" to scan. It comes with the OS. Maybe Windows has something similar.

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.

No you cannot scan multiple pages into one file like a continuos scan like you have in most new model printers.
2128185
No, a file for each one and eventually the scan & copy function won't work at all. I have two of these things and the only thing that works is the printer. Do not buy this printer! As a matter of fact, stay away from HP altogether. They all break eventually and getting assistance from a human is virtually impossible. Don't believe me, try before you buy!

Photos are loaded and scanned individually.Although I LOVE my ION scanner, I would not recommend you purchase it to scan photos. Buy an inexpensive flatbed scanner, instead. This item is great for scanning negatives - and that's what I use it for. The quality of the scanned photos is not that great, however.

No you dont. Unfortunately you only have two options of scanning it... 14MP or 22MP! Each photo scanned has the size of 3144 x 2232 and about 3,60MB.

I tried your suggestion and it seems to work for a single frame. Like the original poster, I have many strips of 126 negatives and would like to scan all four frames at once. Is that possible?

Yes you can scan multiple fingerprints on multiple people. I do not recall how many people or how many fingerprints but I do remember it is quite a few.
