Does the lid come off? I am wondering if it can be removed for scanning larger works that would be digitally stitched together.

I wouldn't know. Frankly, I returned it. It wasn't working properly, and after numerous attempts to reach Mustek's consumer help with no response, I gave up. There appears to be no consumer help whatsoever, and it makes me wonder if they're out of business or something. Good luck.

I don't know; I've never had to remove it. I bought my scanner used, from Craigslist, for $30, and it works fine. There is a little squirreliness, but I think its because I don't have the right power cord. So far, tho', it's been a good scanner. I bought it because it can scan an 11' x 17" sheet.

It will let you scan both sections of the paper, then it puts it together for you. I have done it and it works. It is called scan and stitch.

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

Yes, the lid comes completely off. It looks like you could set a coffee cone on it.

As far as I know, yes. You drag it across the material you want it scanned. But I've never used it. It's brand new, in the box. Never opened. Hope this helps.

You have to open the lid to load each photo. The photo has to be placed in the proper position on the glass, according to the size of the photo being copied, and close the lid. It only takes a split second to scan the picture. I believe it actually takes a digital picture instead of a light scanning the picture.

It has a mode called something like gutter cleanup. It basically tries to remove the center of the book shadow. The scanner has a sufficient border around the scanner that the book will still have to be essentially flat, with the center being prone to the shadow you describe. It seems to be decent on books in the 300-400 page range, I haven't had the need to scan really thick books 7-800 pages, so I don't know what the upper bound is. It also is ok at removing the angle up towards the shadow from the page, not perfect, but I was surprised that the center of the page was as clean as it was.

No don't saw it off! Remove the lencap. Then twist counter clockwise. And finally give it a slight squesse and pull. It doesn't come off easy but it does come off.

Yes, the lid comes off and the clear container comes off, just like the real thing. My granddaughter has been playing with it since last Christmas no problems with it. Just make sure you use brand name batteries.

The lid flaps all the way to the back, so there is no need to take it off, but it you want to, it's easily removable. Hope this helps :)

Not at once, no. You have to take the sheet out and turn it over and scan again. Then you can "staple" the scans together.

In my experience the lid is not easily removable which seems to be a design flaw. We just leave ours resting on top. It got stuck twice in the first weeks that we owned it and ha to pry it off. I do not recommend this composter.

The lid can be unsnapped at the hinge. It is designed to pivot open but can be removed if necessary.

You can do both if you want. There is a way to separate Fter you have scanned. I just scan those that are part of one document as I find it easier for me. It really is a nice machine.

Yes, the lid holder can be removed easily. I'm not sure why you would want to remove it, since it's quite handy, but if you have a reason, it's just a matter of unhooking it from the base.

A tin shears might do it! IF it has gone all the way around, it should come off easily. However, as I recall, there is a silvery doodad to the left of center, and if you push this, it will release the lid. Good Luck! I'd return it if I were you. Send it along with the lid.

Yes, the lid is hinged at the back of the container and does not come completely off of the top. Hope this helps.
