Hi healthynhappy1.

 

To scan a 2-sided document, you will need to change the scanner settings in the software. 

 

If you are using Capture On Touch:

 

  1. You will need to turn off the "Scan in Full Auto" option. 
  2. Next, you will open [Scanner Settings] and change the "Scanning Side" to Duplex. 
  3. Verify that the [Color Mode] shows "24-bit Color" and when you get the option to save the file, verify the [File Type] shows as "PDF".

If you are using CapturePerfect:

 

  1. Click [Scan].
  2. Click [Scanner Settings].
  3. Change the [Scan Side] to "Duplex".
  4. Verify that [Color Mode] is set for "Color" and then save the file as "PDF".

I hope that this information is helpful to you.  Should you need further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).  Have a great day!
