A system and method for printing is provided including actuating a job supplement process on a user interface to enable a job supplement print job to be built up from opposing sides of an object. The system initiates manual document handling mode. The user places a first side of an object to be scanned on a platen of a printing system. The system scans a first side image of the object, the scanning includes a scanner for scanning the platen and converting objects on the platen to image signals. The system stores the first side image of the object. The user turns the object onto a second side and places the second side on the platen. The system scans a second side image of the object. The system further prints the first side image adjacent to the second side image in a single pass on a media sheet.
