                       SCHEDULE 13D-AMENDED AND RESTATED

          The undersigned, Robert A. Samans (the "Reporting Person"), amends and
restates the Schedule 13D filing made by the Reporting Person on October 13,
1992 with regard to the common stock, $.01 par value, of Scanforms, Inc.

          Reference is also made to Schedule 13D dated August 22, 1990
previously filed by Robert Harris, Paul Levine, Allan Voluck, Thomas E. Lent,
Anthony G. Marchese, Samuel Seidman and William R. Kohler (the foregoing persons
collectively are referred to herein as the "Group"), Robert O'Leary and the
Reporting Person with respect to the common stock, $.01 par value, of Scanforms,
Inc., and Amendments Nos. 1 and 2 thereto, dated September 5, 1990 and October
2, 1990, respectively, filed by the Group, Mr. O'Leary and the Reporting Person
(collectively referred to herein as the "Previous Filings"), for information
regarding previous transactions involving the Reporting Person, Mr. O'Leary and
the Group.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer.
         ------------------- 

          The title of the class of equity securities to which this statement
relates is the common stock , $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Scanforms,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").  The principal executive office of
the Company is located at 181 Rittenhouse Circle, Keystone Park, Bristol,
Pennsylvania  19007-0602.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.
         ----------------------- 

          This statement is being filed by Robert A. Samans (the "Reporting
Person"), a U.S. citizen whose principal business address is Scanforms, Inc.,
181 Rittenhouse Circle, Keystone Park, Bristol, Pennsylvania  19007-0602. The
present principal occupation of the Reporting Person is that of Chairman of the
Board and President of the Company.

          During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors).

          During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been a party
to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction as a result of which the Reporting Person was or is subject to a
judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting
or mandating activities subject to federal or state securities laws or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Compensation.
         ------------------------------------------------ 

          On February 5, 1992, the Group entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement
with the Reporting Person (the "1992 Stock Purchase Agreement") pursuant to
which the Reporting Person agreed to purchase 230,000 shares of Common Stock
from the Group for an aggregate purchase price of $96,500.  In accordance with
the terms of the 1992 Stock Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person made an
initial payment of $30,000 on February 13, 1992 (the "Closing Date").  This
$30,000 payment was financed by the Reporting Person with a loan from
Philadelphia Savings Fund Society.

          The remaining $66,500 was initially paid pursuant to a promissory note
dated February 5, 1992 (the "Note") issued by the Reporting Person to the Group.
The Note was guaranteed by Bridge Capital Investors, a New Jersey limited
partnership ("Bridge Capital").  The Note was subsequently paid by the Reporting
Person with the proceeds of a loan made by Bridge Capital to the Reporting
Person pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated as of February 13, 1992 (the "Loan
Agreement").  Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Reporting Person borrowed
$22,500 on February 13, 1992 and $22,000 on each of March 15, 1992 and April 15,
1992 (collectively and in the aggregate, the "Bridge Capital Loan"). In
connection with the Loan Agreement, the Reporting Person entered into a Stock
Pledge Agreement with Bridge Capital and granted Bridge Capital an irrevocable
proxy to vote certain shares of Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person.  The
Bridge Capital Loan was paid in full by the Reporting Person, with personal
funds, on October 8, 1993.

          As more fully described in Item 4 of this filing, it is anticipated
that the source of funds for the going private transaction proposed by the
Reporting Person and Sebastian Carcioppolo ("Mr. Carcioppolo"), a director of
the Company, also described in Item 4, will be bank financing.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
         ---------------------- 

          The Reporting Person originally acquired the shares under the 1992
Stock Purchase Agreement for the purpose of maintaining control of the Company
and effecting an amicable termination of the Group's investment in the Company.



                               Page 4 of 6 Pages
<PAGE>

          On February 1, 1996, the Reporting Person and Mr. Carcioppolo, a
director of the Company (the Reporting Person and Mr. Carcioppolo together are
hereinafter referred to as the "Management Group"), advised the Company that the
Management Group intends to present promptly to the Company's Board of Directors
a proposal that would pay $3.60 cash per share to the Company's public
stockholders and would result in the Company becoming privately held by the
Management Group. This action resulted from a process commenced with a public
announcement in March, 1995 of the Company's willingness to consider proposals
for a significant transaction and subsequent efforts by Janney Montgomery Scott,
the investment banking firm retained for that purpose. The effectuation of any
such proposal is contingent upon the negotiation and completion by the
Management Group of the terms of a bank financing, the negotiation and
completion of documentation with respect to the transaction relating to the
management proposal, the receipt by the Board of Directors of a fairness
opinion, the approval of the Board of Directors (including its Independent
Director) and the approval of the Company's stockholders.

          At the present time, other than the actions described in the preceding
paragraph, the Reporting Person has no specific plans or proposals that would
relate to or result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j)
of Item 4.  However, the Reporting Person may consider any such plans or
proposals in the future, if deemed appropriate.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
         ------------------------------------ 

          On the date of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person is the
beneficial owner of 1,006,268 shares of Common Stock. Based upon the 3,546,648
shares of Common Stock currently outstanding, as reported in the Company's Proxy
Statement for Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on February 27, 1996, as
filed on January 29, 1996 (the "Proxy Statement"), the Reporting Person
beneficially owns 28.4% of the outstanding Common Stock.

          The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power with
respect to 1,006,268 shares.
 
          To the best of the undersigned's knowledge, on the date of this
Schedule 13D, Mr. Carcioppolo, together with whom the Reporting Person may be
deemed a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, is the beneficial owner of 550,620 shares of Common Stock.  Based
upon the 3,546,648 shares of Common Stock currently outstanding, as reported in
the Proxy Statement, Mr. Carcioppolo beneficially owns 15.5% of the outstanding
Common Stock.  Under the provisions of Rule 13d-5 of the Act, the Reporting
Person may be deemed to own beneficially all of the shares of Common Stock owned
by Mr. Carcioppolo.  However, the Reporting Person expressly disclaims
beneficial ownership of any of the shares of Common Stock owned by 
Mr. Carcioppolo.

          To the best of the undersigned's knowledge, during the last five
years, Mr. Carcioppolo has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding
(excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Bristol, PA, February 1, 1996 -- Scanforms, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap:SCFM) today
reported that the Company has been advised by a management group consisting of
its Chairman and President, Robert A. Samans, and one of its Directors, that
they intend to present to the Company's Board of Directors promptly a proposal
which would pay $3.60 cash per share to the Company's public shareholders and
would result in the Company becoming privately held by the management group.
This action resulted from a process commenced with a public announcement in
March 1995 of the Company's willingness to consider proposals for a significant
transaction, and subsequent efforts by Janney Montgomery Scott, the investment
banking firm retained for that purpose.

The effectuation of any such proposal would be contingent upon the negotiation
