I want to use the scanner to scan fabric for software I use in quilt making. Do you think it will work for me? Thank you for your help.

As a non-techie, I believe that it will scan any flat object but with the same light/dark contrast issues, so some of your fabric patterns might scan well, while other might scan poorly.

I would say no. It is not wide enough. It can only scan up to about 8.5 inches wide. I think most blue prints are wider than that. The length would not b e a problem

I was very disappointed with this software and tossed it. I can't answer your question. I've wasted a lot of $$$ buying cheap and not so cheap software that promises great results but I ended up with poor quality results. I've been using Stitch ERA Universal, its been free to use online but that will stop in December, and one of their options is to buy a subscription for monthly use. If I need to scan anything, I use CorelDraw and import it into Stitch Era. I'm happy with the results and they've been professional quality. Good Luck!

Good luck. I have Apple and discovered this scanner does not work with Apple after purchasing it. I was not able to find that limitation in the description when I purchased it.

I have never actually scanned anything exactly this size, but the screen opening measures just under 12" x 17" so it should scan any image close to that width or length. Good luck!

It actually can. However you need to acquire a Software Development Kit (SDK) compatible with this scanner (there are many out there) and then you can create your own custom applications.

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.

This is a terrible product and failed after about 2 uses. I recommend you buy another portable scanner. To answer your question: these type of scanners only scan one side at a time.

I am waiting until I see this answer. I would like to buy this scanner if compatible.

I have only used it to copy pictures and for that, it worked perfect. It is able to scan any size up to 8x10.

Yes, I currently use the scanner with a laptop running Windows 7. The desktop software that works with the scanner is available for download from Doxie's website, and they should have information there about specific versions of Windows that are supported.

I have used it to scan in some photos and they turned out well. I think it would depend upon the type whether you wanted to run them through or not, such as old family photos, etc.

I don't think so because I searched for scanners that worked with Windows 7 especially. I do recall the instructions mentioned one could get an app that would enable it for Windows 8. Instead of that hassle, just search Amazon for scanners Windows 8 compatible.

I'm sorry - I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know. But I really thought the scanner did a good job and was exactly what I wanted. Hope someone else can answer your question.

It seems, from my use of the scanner, that this'd work just fine, though you'd have to attend the scan or else check the file to ensure that all pages were inclued (the scanner occasionally grabs more than one page at once). Not to state the obvious, but try it first with a book you can replace easily :-) Also, note the advice from the poster before me (don't get binding glue/debris in the scanner).

That would depend on your scanner. The device has to recognize cable for what it is. It's basically a NICE and your device would have to have built in drivers for it like a PC in order allow the cable to do its job.

Yes. It works beautifully! We have had it for several weeks now and already find it indispensable. It scans quickly and the output is high quality!
