How to scan and store multiple
images
To scan stacks of photographs or documents
continuously, switch to the Advanced Control Panel,
and follow these simple steps. Also, it’s always a good
idea to create a special folder as a storage specifically
for all your scanned images. That way, you can easily
locate, browse, and retrieve them at any time.
Place several photos carefully
on your scanner bed for
continuous scanning.
