You have a choice. You can scan the lease then scan your homework. They would be in different files. If you stick both the lease and your homework in the ADF reader you will have one file with both documents contained in that file. Or you could select a single file for each page.

The default seems to be to scan multiple pages as one document but you can change that in the advanced settings. So the answer is that you can scan either way.

You sure can. In the application's scan settings, check the box called "Prompt for Additional Pages" which allows you to scan multiple document pages and save as a single file.

No if you want them to be separated in to separate PDF files, however if you put them altogether then they will scan as one file but then you will need a PDF splitter Application..

Basically, it's a fancy way of saying it only scans one side at a time and you have to re-insert it manually to do the second side. As the other answer correctly noted, the scanner offers software that will match up side 1 and side 2 scan to arrange pages in order automatically, so you don't have to sit at the computer manually inserting page 2, 4, etc.

I checked it out for you and found that you can do whichever you choose. There's a checkbox under "advanced" on the print screen that allows you to choose one file for each page or combined

There is a setting to Continue scanning. You just put the additional pages in and either click the Continue Scanning button or press the button on the scanner. All pages are saved to the same PDF file until you end the job. It can even scan both sides of the page at once.

No, you can't scan several pages as one doc, but PDF pages can be merged into one file.

Yes, one can scan multiple photos at once, provided they all fit on the platen (the glass area under the cover) without overlapping (unless, of course, overlapping images is something that's wanted). Some kind of image editing tool will be needed later, in order to pull the pictures apart into separate files (which is what is usually desired). In some cases (high-resolution scanning), the combined scan of multiple photos will be too big to edit, so scanning them one-at-a-time would be a better approach in that case.

Yes. After scaning of the first page the program asks do you want to scan the second page, then you save all work into one file.

yes. After scanning the first page, put the next page on screen and click "scan" instead of "exit". They will appear as separate pages on the screen, but will be combined when saved to a folder. I've only done this with pdf's but it probably works for anything else too.

Only one line at a time, but scanning one line only takes you 2 seconds, so I think 20 lines is not a problem for you.

I don't think that there is any specific number of scans that you can do in a month/week/day. Just remember that it will not scan more than about 8 or 10 pages maximum at a time. I try to keep my actual pages around 6-8 and then you just keep telling it to "continue" as you add more pages.

I have only done a some book scanning, but what I have done it shows 2 pages per pdf page. I don't find that to be a problem and there may be a way to put one page per pdf page. What I like is scanning odd shaped items or a stack of different sized receipts. In this case each receipt has its own pdf page.

I think copying was a feature this unit does. Anything that scans of course can copy the image. I would read the product description for sure and reference the cannon website if you're unsure about purchasing this unit. I ended up buying this locally, as first shipment was lost, and I really don't use it, my girlfriend does and it serves her purpose well. It was a bit involved to set up, not super long, but since we have a home network its slightly more involved than just plugging it in. This unit was larger than I expected in person so make sure you have some space. Very nice sleek look and so far has worked like a charm. Good luck to you!

You can scan a whole page of photos if you want but it works out better if you scan individualy because it would be easier to print a single pic or send in an email. That way each picture has it's individual file. I scanned a whole page of photos before and it was hard to go in later and crop out one photo from the group. They don't turn out as clear without doing them one at a time. It will go pretty fast if you get your pics organized first. But if you are trying to scan a page f4om one of the old magnetic picture albums because they are stuck, I would do it anyway because you can tear into the photos trying to get them out, You can scan a whole page of photos if you want but it works out better if you scan individualy because it would be easier to print a single pic or send in an email.

You may feed multiple pages. I do not like this scanner and would not buy it again, but it does have a page feed.
