Can you remove the lid of this scanner or will it lay completely flat? My wife needs to scan some smaller oil paints to create prints.

The scanner lid is not removable. It will open completely vertical but you can't take it off. I too had some large pictures which was greater that the 17 inch space but was unable to scan them. Otherwise it has been great for my purposes. Kathy K. Just read another comment they said it does. New to me.

You can remove the lid but be very carefull. I dont think you need to remove the lid. I have scanned pictures still in the frame and I have scanned 3d objects. Just be gentle don`t put a lot of pressure on the white panel thingy.

If anyone is currently wanting to know the answer to this question...I would not recommend taking the lid off. What I do when I need to scan items larger than the screen is scan it in multiple files and then use another program like SnagIt Editor to reassemble them. That works wonderfully!

The bed is letter-sized, so the length is there. You should be able to mask the sides. And somewhere, I have a slide-masking template which will process two slides at once. I don't know if you will need a light to shine through the film for the scanner to pick it up properly. There is no arrangement on that cover for a light. The cover hinges will pull out about an inch, so if you can find a flat light that is no thicker than that inch, you would be able to do it. So, yes, if you can satisfy yourself on that cover light.........

It is not portable. But I'm sorry I don't have anything to recommend. I would try searching for portable scanner or handheld scanner. For what you're looking for, it will be more like a big wand than a flatbed scanner. Something like this: Vupoint PDS-ST510R-VP Magic Wand Jr. Portable Scanner, Red

If the photo id is thin and does not have anything attached like pins or straps. If it does have things on it, one would be better with a page scanner where one can place it flat on the scanner.

I own the scanner pictured. I use it either as a handheld wand or in the docking station. When you keep the wand in the dock station, you just feed thru any documents you wish. I do a lot of photos and they turn out great! You can also remove the wand from the docking station for items that won't fit through. To use the wand, you slide it across the document you want to scan. An indicator light shows you when it's scanning. This works well too, but it doesn't start scanning until about 1/2" into the document. Results from both ways are great!

Depends on the resolution you set your scanner to scan the photo with. Higher resolution, more time. I've never timed it to the second, but it is a short time. Best to scan a preview, then adjust the area you want scanned before you scan to save. This is my third flatbed scanner, and this one is a delight to use, and the results are perfect quality. I'd buy again in a heartbeat!

Yes, but I have not used it yet. All that I scan is on Illustration board. I am a dinosaur. I paint and illustrate on Cresent Illustration which is ridged. If you are ever on Linkedin,go to my profile page to see the result of my scans. Link..... http://lnkd.in/bQuVAAW I love this printer/scanner. If you choose to buy it, you will as well.

Yes you can. It is a higher dpi when you scan with in attached to the base. But you can scan very well with the the wand. I love mine! I have scanned pictures, documents and everything with it.

You will have to disassemble the scanner to get to the bottom side of the glass plate. You will have to use a dish soap to clean it as the plate will get hot from the light source. The best thing to use is the lens cloth for camera lens or eye glasses if you have them and most people do not. Dish soap works well in any case. Make sure everything is dry before you put it back together. Do Not Touch the lamp when you disassemble the scanner as you will ruin it. Do you notice if there is any transfer to the page from the the plate? If there is none you do not need to clean the plate.

You should plan on cutting a notch in the printer to route the ink tubes. Then the lid closes. You can put something in the open/close sensor, but that doesn't work as well. It is a bit of work to make the notch, but you save about $1000 in ink with this bundle, and the print quality is great.

Hi Lia,Do scanner top hinges lift up to allow for a book or something think to be scanned? Canon calls this Z-Lid. Thanks in advance

The scanner/copier has a flatbed, so you can simply lay ID card etc on the glass -- no problem. However, for sheetfed things like multiple pag documents, you can use the feeder. I am VERY satisfied withis multifunction scanner/copier/printer and use it daily in my financial planning business.

It will scan anything that you can lay flat however file sizes tend to be large even on the lowest resolution setting. It does not scan water marks and holographs,

It is movable without great difficulty, but it was not designed to be portable. It would be awkward to carry it around. It is a terrific scanner, especially for books and oddly shaped documents.

The scanner face is flat glass but the lid will raise for something as thick as an inch. You can always scan with the lid raised. Cut a piece of paper to fill in around the object in minimize black background.

In certain situations are wrinkled paper I do not think it will work. The scanner will most likely jam.
