If using a simple flatbed scanner you can position a few smallish (e.g. 6x4) prints in one go, scan them 'as one' and then use something like Photoshop Elements to 'split' them back into the individual photos - there is an option to do this in the Editor module - Images menu - Divide Scanned Photos or something like that. I presume that the full Photoshop package does that as well but I don't use it - just PE and Lightroom. Saved me a lot of time in the past.

I think some scanners can do the same with their own software packages?

If you do it as above put a piece of brightly coloured card / paper on top of the photos before lowering the scanner lid as it makes it easier for the PE software to deifne each photo.
