Cannot scan two sided - Kodak i2600 - document scanner

Flatbed scanners scan one side only.
To scan the other side you would have to flip the page.
Dual side simultaneous scanners are rather rear.

1. Position the document on your scanner.
2. On the File menu, click Scan New Document.
3. In the Scan New Document dialog box, select the options you want.
• To select additional scanning options, click Preset options, and then click either Create new preset or Edit selected preset.
• If you want to scan a double-sided page, select the Original is double sided check box.
4. Click Scan.

If you selected the Original is double sided check box, the Scan New Document dialog box reappears as necessary.

1. If you selected the Original is double sided check box or the Prompt for additional pages check box, click Done to save the file after the last page is scanned.

First, ensure you are connecting the scanner to your computer. I'm assuming USB connection, and that you're using an operating system supported by this device.

Next, install the drivers and software for this device. Those should have come with an installation disc, but if you don't have that disc, you can get them from the PIXMA MP830 support site, here:

Open HP Solution Center, click on Settings, click on Scan Preferences, select "Scan both sides of original when using duplex feeder."

or
Open Solution Center, click on Scan Document, and you should have a check box towards the bottom of the window which would say 'scan both sides of the original document'. check that box and start scanning.

Hi,

The back side means it will be E3 error, then you have to clean the back side optical unit like Glass part, lamp part, ccd unt. dont use Alcohol (IP) for cleaning CCD unit. It will be a risky one.

Another one since it is giving the back side error you can scan by scanning only the front side. i think you may be aware of the front side scanning .

Try and reinstall the driver software. IF you had scanned only one page and also had chosen multipage option, the second side will not be visible, unless you use a proper software that can display 2nd side.

Follow below instructions to scan more than one pages to a single document :

1. Open HP solution center.
Click Start - All programs - HP - HP Solution center.

2. Click Scan document - Click Accept.
Computer will ask "Would you like to scan another page?" Say Yes and scan the other side of the document by following onscreen steps.

Thanks

Use the "Separate Scan" button on the panel. By pushing this you are telling the scanner that you have separate scans to scan as one document. Once all files are scanned, push the separate scan button again to indicate you are finished scanning.
