Scanning using Brother DCP-L2540DW printer - merging documents

Hi,

Is anyone here very familiar with scanning using a Brother printer? When I scan one page at a time, it asks me after each page if I have another page to add to the scan. That way I can scan multiple pages into one PDF document.

But if I use the tray on top in order to scan a few dozen pages at a time, it doesn’t do that. It just finishes the document after finishing the pages in the tray. It doesn’t allow me to add another batch of pages to include in the same document.

Thus if I want to scan a few hundred pages without scanning one page at a time, I will have to have multiple documents instead of just having it all included in one document.

I hope I’m making sense.

Thanks, Rick

Great. I’ve used it a few times myself.

Looks really handy as it merges other file types as well as just PDFs… Good catch!

Nice. I didn’t realize that! The result is always a PDF.
