Does the scanner have a multi-page document handler? An Automatic feed for a multi page set of documents I want to scan all at once. Or is this a one page at a time machine?

It's a page at a time - the cover flips up and there is a glass surface to place a page on - there is no feeder and no add on available. It's still a great printer, however.

While pages scan individually, it is fairly simple to highlight all scanned pages in a document and then press/enter the stack instruction. One great point-- documents are automatically straightened, which I find to be a big time saver.

I just scanned 28 pages in about 2 minutes (I say about because I didn't use a timer with seconds) - my settings were Black & White, 400 DPI, Searchable OCR, single sided. I regularly scan documents ranging from a couple pages to 60 - 80 pages and almost never have a skip or miss. I mostly scan directly to Adobe Acrobat X Standard rather than the Brother software but I don't think that affects the speed. I like Adobe Acrobat Standard since it is easier to work with the documents afterwards (and it does a better job of auto sensing portrait vs landscape as I often have a mix of documents).

The scanner is very portable, and this prevents it from having a sheet feeder. So yes, you do. Even at that, I found it much faster than using a printer/scanner and turning the sheets over, which makes a rather hard to use file.

Yes. I scan multi page documents and when finished the computer screen prompts you with, "Finished Scanning?"You then choose location to save file, name the document, and it saves it as a PDF file.

It's an automated feed. Just line the sheet in straight, it will catch and pull through. Takes 7-10 seconds from the time it grabs, scans and resets to accept the next page.

You can scan pages one after the other. The file numbers change each time you roll over a new document or pic. It does a really good job and is very valuable when doing research .

It scans anything of paper thickness that is not wider than the scanner. Once scanned in you can save to any program in your computer to manage documents or photos. The feed works well, so no skewing or blurring that is likely with the "wand" types. I have scanned some of everything - photos, artwork, receipts, ID cards and etc. No problems. This is great. Has little protective case. Just plug into USB port and start scanning. I have had no problems at all with this scanner. And very portable. Fits into my soft laptop case. Highly recommend this little scanner.

Yes, a multiple page document can be scanned into a single PDF file, but you must scan the pages one at a time.

This is a good casual scanner, I've tried often to do multi-page documents and find it to be more trouble than it is worth - I then go to my multifunction printer which has a scanner. If you anticipate a lot of multipage documents, I would not suggest this unit, though it can do it, it is just a painful process to get it to work adequately.

Is the document feeding double-sided?Could anyone answer this question? I would like the document feeder to support automatic double-sided feeding. Thank you.

You may feed multiple pages. I do not like this scanner and would not buy it again, but it does have a page feed.

No, it only has one sensor so it will only scan one side at a time. The software does allow you to combine those scans into a single document.

Hi Jonathan, the scanner can do both functions. the scanner comes with software called CapturePerfect that will allow you to select the page setting you prefer. Located at the bottom left of the CapturePerfect main operations screen is the 'Multipage Settings' menu. From there you can select 'single', 'multipage' (all pages) or 'multipage' (specified). We have many of these scanners in our offices and they've performed very well. Hope you find this helpful. cheers.

No. You scan one page at a time. This printer / scanner is good BUT... it only takes HP ink which is expensive. And the ink doesn't last anytime at all for me. won't buy HP next time. You're lucky to get 30 pages of black and 20 pages of color before it tells you to change ink. It is coded so it won't take 'refilled' cartridges or use other companies' ink. Then when you break down and buy theirs it pops up "thanks for using original HP ink"... Yeah right like you have a choice. That is why printer is so cheap

The DS is a manually fed scanner. I have not really timed it but I would say that you could scan 2 to 3 pages per minute. The nice thing about the DS is that you can scan multiple documents to the same pdf file. If you are going to scan a lot of papers you may want to consider a pricier auto feed scanner. I like this one for scanning occasional bills and receipts.

Yes it is an available feature. You have to setup at options for multiple documents and the scanner will ask after each scan if there are any other documents to be scanned. It will create one single document in the chosen format with one document after the other.
