How is this scanner different from a regular scanner? I already have 2 regular scanners.

Had many regular scanners. This one is amazing, takes a second to operate, always in hands reach and does its job fast and accurate. Best scanner I used to date and I owned many professional setups. FYI: Getting SmartVault.com account with it is priceless for document organization and quickbooks

It is portable and easy to carry with you. I have a copier scanner and the Scansnap does a far better job. You can desiginate searchable words in your document so you can locate it later. It will scan both sides in one pass. It does an excellent job of scanning photos to jpeg format. Lots of bang for you buck.

One more thought though. My statement about the HP scanner is misleading. True for full page receipts, but unlike most flatbed scanners this one only scans the receipt, not a full page of nothing. A small receipt, like from a gas station pump, scans in a few seconds.

Pardon any inaccuracies, but best I recall there are 2 "modes" you can scan with: the "built-in"/one touch mode (for lack of a better term) and the other using the extremly unstable "Paperport LE" software that came with it....in either case it uses sorta a date format, renaming each subsequent scant 001, 002 et

It's very difficult to say what the actual differences are, but you can click on either the 001, 003, or 004 and look at the Product Details below. But I can't say whether there are significant differences in the scanner itself. The 003 and 004 have extra things included, but whether that is worth the extra money is hard to determine, and is up to you to decide. Good luck.In my case, all I needed to do was to scan black and white documents for tax purposes, and the 001 worked surprisingly well for that.

It does not have a scanner that I am aware of. If it does have a scanning feature I have not discovered it.

I really don't remember. But unless you have a special need for very long scans-forget about this scanner-it is junk. I returned mine. Get yourself a Fujitsu SnapScan 1500-really excellent scanner-I love it.

This looks like the same holder, I have not had to use one but looked at it when we originally bought the scanner. I figured out how it migh twork, but again, never had to use it. I don't expect to find any thing that wouldn't work. Hope this helps.

Yes it is - I am no techie. It's a good scanner!! Worth paying the extra money to upgrade to this model.

Yes, I recommend it. I've had four different scanners. This is by far the best, light, multiple resolution settings, color or b/w. I love this one.

I'm a bit confused by your question. The scanner and copier functions operate independently of one another. I use Paperport software(supplied free with the MFC8950DW!) to manage all documents scanned to my computer from the AIO. All scanned documents go directly to the Paperport folder I select before beginning the scanning process. Paperport is a fantastic piece of software. You can scan any number of documents, with as many pages as you have, to any folder you select in Paperport. If you place something in the wrong folder it's a simple matter to drag and drop it from one folder to another. If you accidentally scan two documents together Paperport allows you to split the documents into two separate stacks in the software. I hope this answers your question.

you can only scan one side at a time. scan twice if you want to crop two different parts of a doc....

not many...i hated that scanner. Check out the Brother Image Center ADS 2000. It works well and can do multiple pages.

I'm sorry that I can't answer that question for this scanner. Others (different brands) even with attachments to hold them haven't done a satisfactory job of it, though. I haven't attempted the feat with this one.

Hi, As much as I've used my scanner it has always only worked when connected to my computer. I have the portable model and I'm not sure how the desktop works.

No. This is strictly a printer. As a rule I advise people to avoid multi-function equipment. They are notoriously unreliable compared to single function equipment. If you need both scanning and printing functions it's much easier to replace/repair/upgrade one without effecting the other.

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.

No I don't believe so. In my opinion, this is a pretty basic scanner. Worth the money but needs more features.
