I don't normally do this, so I tried an experiment. I first taped the receipt to the paper, with the tape in the center of the receipt but not all the way to the edges. The page started to feed, but stopped after about 1-2 inches of travel. I tried again with the tape going over the entire top edge of the receipt with the same result. I then taped the bottom of the receipt as well, and that fed through normally. The feed roller on the ADF of this scanner "grabs" top of the page, so if the bottom of the receipt is not taped to the page, it bunches up and jams the ADF.

If you think it will jam paste on paper and make a copy of that. Then scan the copy

I think that as long as the leading edge of the receipt is taped all the way across it will probably feed okay.

If the receipt is taped down on all four edges there would be no problem with the scan from the ADF. It would work with no taping from the scan bed.

Yes, you have 4 lines at the top of the receipt and 4 lines at the bottom you can us for Company Name and messages! You have to play with it a little to get it all centered, but it will work for you!

You would connect the cash drawer cable to the back of this receipt printer. When the printer prints a receipt, the cash drawer automatically opens.

Yes. I like to put a small check with a small receipt for one simple document. they work perfect.

Yes, absolutely. However, for what I've experienced in the short time I've had it and as I saw in Youtube you should badge them by size, in another words: don't mix legal size, regular size paper, business cards, receipts etc. The scanner does a great job recognizing the paper. I've scanned over 150 PDF documents and dozens of business cards without problem. Another great feature, is that if the scanner jams (for some reason as: old or stappled document), it will saves the pages that were already scanned and ask you to reset the door of the scanner and continue. This helps you save a lot of time or having to re-start a scan. Hope this helps. Yes, absolutely.

That is not why I use the scanner. However, the scanner can scan that type of paper and a skinnier width. The issue may be with the continuous nature of the roll (unless you are talking about single receipts, then it can definitely handle it).

YES, supposed to feed multiple types and styles of paper, like a check with a receipt or bill, and it will, but sometimes it doesn't feed (once in 50 or 100 pages) depending on the condition of the check and the paper accompanying. So watch the input and output to make sure it equals, so you know you got all the papers. And, not only will it feed the check, by the way, it will also adjust the scan to only include the check, so you don't have to cut and trim. HOpe this helps.

Yes, it works best if they are taped to a blank page - you can choose the clarity of the scan and it is easy to do.

I select photo + jpg (or tif) for signatures and even cash register receipts. Files zoom up and print clearly (8-pt type is readable). It also offers document + pdf (or tif) choices for incorporating into other apps- as it gives me that many more options. Yes, much easier to get good results than any other scanner I owned.

the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and uses the same software. the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and... » Read More the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and uses the same software. « Show Less

I just tried it with a 4" x 6" picture, it doesn't take it, scanning is from the glass only. It didn't even try to pull the picture in and I moved it around to see if it needed to be in a different place.

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.

The key is getting things aligned to the top and side. It'll scan if they are slightly off square, but then you have to go through all of them and square them up. Easier to start that way than having to post process everything.

I have had no problems scanning pages from top to bottom on larger books. Smaller books have to be scanned from the spine to the edge of the pages side ways. It may take some practice to scan the entire manuscript on pages and to get the best speed. I use a class 10 chip. I have had only a few pages have "warps" on the scans. I am very pleased with this product, it has met all of my needs and expectations as a genealogist.

The first part should seem obvious (place item on scanner and then press the scan button). Now, after your computer goes through several scans, it takes you to HP Photosmart Essentials 2.5, where you should see a picture of what you just scanned. Left click on it and choose on "Share," where you can email it to someone, or "Print," although you could have just made a copy of it if that's all you wanted to do with it. There is another choice icon there, and I think you can put it several places from there, as it gives what you just scanned a JPG number. Good luck!

Sure. Smaller pieces of paper may need to be anchored or affixed to a larger sheet for reduced movement and best overall results. There should be no problems scanning checks.

I've scanned every type of document with this scanner and it performed top notch. I believe there's a micro switch in the feeder area to detect and pull documents through, so it really depends on how the user aligns each document when scanning. I haven't had a problem with receipts being scanned straight.
