AIO 926 Scanning issues
This unit prints great. It scans pictures great. However, when you scan a document (either typed, handwritten, or a combination - as in a completed job application), much of the scan comes out in symbols, especially when scanning to Word. I didn't have any problems (other than page orientation - must be in portrait orientation) when scanning to PowerPoint. This has been an issue since I got the printer over a year ago.
Also, any tips on scanning a multiple page document? In most cases, I need to email the entire document as 1 file. Is there a way to put the individual pages together to create 1 document?
Thank you!!

I have the same problem scanning documents . I have scrolled down to "See More Scan Settings" and clicked on the "Advanced" button. There I have checked to see that the "Convert scanned item to text(OCR)"is not selected. Although the box is not checked, my scan is still processed through the OCR program. How can I scan documents ( handwritten or drawings) without going through the OCR program?
KannonsGran,
The only way to scan pictures and Documents, it to use Paint or Adobe Reader. It will save the document more like a jpeg image instead of a document. A scanned document, you can edit it after it's scanned. To add other programs to scan to, try reading...
Update list of applications to send scans to

Hi there.
Not sure if this applies to your printer / software.
I have an AIO 946, and I can select to scan to PDF. When this is selected, it invokes a wizard that asks if you want to be prompted to scan multiple pages. If I select [yes], the result is a multi-page PDF. Soulds exactly what you are after!
Cheers,
Adrian
