Could you easily scan a driver's license or insurance card?

I just tried that out... Something like a drivers license did scan, but with some persuasion... It's not perfect because of the rigidness of the card and the fact the paper-path has a slight bend to it. Flatbed most definitely recommended for that. Something flimsier like an insurance card went through fine.

It depends on how stiff the card actually is. If the cards can bend a little, then they can be scanned. If they're rigid, forget it. My current driver's license and health insurance card are too stiff for the scanner. Same with credit cards. My dental and car insurance cards are flexible enough to scan without problems. Business cards are generally OK. I have a laminated certification credential that likewise scans just fine. If a card is too stiff, the scanner can't scan it - the one major disappointment I have with this device. The mechanism seems as if it could unlatch to handle the stiffer items, but the software detects the unlatched condition as an error and won't perform the scan. In any case, I use the machine on a Mac and, despite the limitations, I love the thing.

Yes. Scan's color and both side simultaneously. There is a limit on how stiff and thick the material. I've done both (for my own copy, not for official use). Thicker material might need some help navigating the slight bend on entry.

I have seen this product sold with a bar code scanner which leads me to believe that it is possible. However I have no need to use one so have not explored the issue.

We do not usually scan laminated items but one of our scanning staff scanned their employee ID and sent it to me. The employee ID is about the same as a driver's license. Color scan was in very good detail.

Very good question.. I just tried it and it scanned my license flawlessly! Hope that helps.

Yes, however remember if you would like to use the finger print scanner it will not work properly.

It could be done, but there are far better scanners for scanning books. It's great for small things like business cards or a small image on a page, but not whole pages. As l said it could be done, but you would go insane.

Didn't try that application, but I can not imagine that would work well, the item is not easy to get a simple image to scan correctly. I would not recommend it for that purpose.

i would assune it would, i purchesed it to use on my 2000 gmc... if you are not familiar with using this type of scanner there is little instructions & no .pdf file either for a printed manual, so its learn by doing... there are shortcomings...

It can b, t doable. The software included in th scanner driver contins OCR (Optical Character Recognition).If you scanning a clean document, the OCR will recognize text, so it wll be possble to save it as a text document and later format and convert into Word document.

You can scan pretty much anything, but you need to be sure that the scanned object is firmly placed and immovable.

Only one page can be scanned at a time, and yes a photo i.d. should go through it just fine. I have scanned credit cards with it. I own this and I love it for running my business. It is easy to use and helps keep track of everything by allowing me to put it into a computer.

It works best on a flat piece of paper, but if you take the license out of any holder it's in and lay it on a flat surface it should work. You may have to Scotch tape the license to keep it from sliding as you move the scanner over it.

Well I don't see why not. But it's small we all have our own. The main reason we got it, was we have various sizes of backup documents that we have to attach to our online billing. As far as network we would have to carry our documents load them then back to the computer to hit scan button. Sorry I couldn't help

The software is easy to use. I'm not sure about scanning business cards or other cards.

Yes. Very easily. I scan receipts regularly so I can keep a record of them because receipts fade quickly. If you're receipts are on a continuous roll, then you have to break the roll up into letter or legal size lengths which is common sense.

Scan as an image and use Photoshop or some other image manipulation software to put them together. With the variability in hand scans, I would not really recommend this. You will be hard pressed to seamlessly put them together. Better to find a ledger sized scanner if you can.

It cannot scan anything that is rigid like a drivers license. Not sure how to answer you on the ID card question, it would scan that like any other paper
