Windows Scan & Fax- stop breaking things into multiple pages!

I'm using Windows Scan & Fax on a Windows 10 machine, with a Canon flatbed scanner. I have an image I want to scan, and every time I try to scan or preview it, Windows Scan & Fax breaks up the single image into two (or more!) random images cropped from
the page. If I preview the image, it shows me the entire thing I want to scan, but puts random boxes around the things it decides must be the 'pages' of the scan.

It's enormously frustrating. How do I get Windows Scan & Fax to just scan what's on the flatbed, without chopping things up into whatever insane random boxes it chooses for me?

I should add, I've been adding the multiple pages through the feeder, not the flatbed...

 

Scanning multiple pages in to one single document​

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to scan multiple pages into one document. You can achieve the task by scanning all the pages into one PDF file.

• What is the make and model of the scanner?

I would suggest you to refer the articles mentioned below, depending on the scanner you are using to scan the document.



For HP Scanners:

HP Printers - How to Scan (Windows), refer the section
How do I save multiple documents or photos as a single PDF?

For Brother Scanners:

Scan multiple pages into one file instead of each scan being saved as a separate file.

For EPSON Scanners:

Scan Multiple Pages to a PDF File.

For Canon Scanners:

Scanning multiple pages to a single PDF file using MP Navigator EX (Scanners) and

Scan multiple documents using the IJ Scan Utility.
