does anyone know if you can scan a page from a book with this?

No. Scanner is marginal and only scans single pages. Scanner is in the trash.

no you can not scan a page from a book it does not allow you to do that. only if the page out of the book as a single page

Yes but it takes some effort and a steady hand...not quick. I had the same intention, its ok but not great

Yes. The cover is removable so that pages in books may be more easily scanned. The only limit is the size of the picture being scanned if the objective is to capture the image in a single scan.

Yes! The scanner works best with documents, books, text of any kind. Easiest printer to setup that I've ever used.

Yes, I use it to scan ISBN#s from books and other items that I want to list on Amazon. There is no major set up, I just plugged it into my computer USB and my computer read that it was hooked up and it started to work. It will scan a barcode number right into an excel document . This was a very inexpensive item but can make a job go so much faster. Hope this helped. "Fly'n Betty"

Yes , you can scan many pages ( two , three, four ..... twenty and so on ) into a single file . You can also make scans in a way that each page will be a separate single file .

yes.... you and use a USB thumb drive and it will scan images to the drive for later use on your PC. Each page is saved as a jpg image which can be converted on your PC if necessary.

No. The scans are low-quality. It doesn't even do a decent job with print. The color is not accurate in scanning or in printing. Go with a different model.

I have not yet succeeded how to scan directly, but I believe it can be done... the usb stick works very nicely though...i keep it plugged into the printer all the time, then when i scan something, i just move it over to my iMac and upload it ! that way i have whatever i've scanned backed up on the "stick" and in my computer.

Yes you can. It's very easy and has multiple options for different needs. I use the most basic feature that allows me to scan an entire page and save it to my desktop wirelessly.

Yes. I can scan few pages and saved as a PDF file in my computer. It also includes an option to send as an email through the computer which I do not try.

I have actually tried to do this but the way the book opens up it's very hard to get a good scan on the inside of the page where the fold is at. Otherwise it scans perfectly?

You would have to scan a line at a time. If you are looking for something that will read a paragraph or even a sentence that starts in one line and ends on another it, this will not. My daughter uses it for scanning recipe instructions. There are other readers available for textbooks.

It will continue to scan until you release the button so if you scan continuously then you can scan as many pages as you want. Hope this helps!

Yes, and from iPhone too. The scanning feature stopped working almost immediately though.

Yes, technically, though anything newspaper size is probaby impratical. After all, you need a computer connection to use the scanner, and even a laptop would prove too bulky a combination for comfortable use with something as large as a newspaper. A normal-size book, however, should present no problem more bothersome than finding a way to keep its pages spread while you scan.

It works just fine. You would place the scanner on the book, with the top taken off and move it around the book page. Depending on how big the old book is will determine how many times you have to move the scanner. One thing I learned the hard way was that I didn't overlap the scanned pieces enough at the beginning and the stitching software couldn't put it into a whole piece. Otherwise I have taken this with me on my genealogy quests with great satisfaction. Only problem, as I've mentioned before is the battery dependence. Bring extra memory cards or have the ability to download from the little card. Without a card or battery, it doesn't work.

Yes you can. You just need to set that up on the scan options on your computer. I have done this with PDF format, but not sure if it works for other file formats.
