HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP, HP OfficeJet Enterprise MFP, HP PageWide Enterprise MFP, HP Managed MFP - Copy or scan both sides of an identification card

The copy and scan features on your printer have a 2-sided ID option to scan both sides of an identification card (or other small-size document) onto the same side of one sheet of paper. The printer scans one side of the ID card, prompts to turn the ID card over, and then scans again.

If you want to print the scanned page, use the copy feature.

If you want to save or send the scanned page to the printer memory or to another destination, use the scan feature.

Note:

The steps vary according to the type of control panel.
