Does it scan receipts well? I don't want to purchase just a flatbed and have to scan both sides.

I use it to scan receipts. Full page items work best. But the receipts that are 3.5 inch wide work as well you just have to set it up. I use acrobat with a custom page width and the crop it for receipt length.

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.

I use it for fine art scanning. It works great. But you have to open the scanning toolbox and set the scanning PPI to 600. Then you get a really, really good quality scan.

My experience is that it does not (and/or cannot) scan both sides at once. There is a separate tab for capturing the image from the back side of a card.

Yes, pulls sheets in smoothly and well-aligned, scans both sides in one pass. We have this model in multiple offices (5~8 users per), been running ithem for past year and a half; so far so good.

I work in a law firm and have had to scan photographs. Will it scan? Yes. It is a proper scanner for archiving photographs? No. If you need it for the occasional photo, it will suffice. If you are looking to archive a lot of photographs, go with a flatbed scanner made specifically for photographs. Will is scan business cards? Yes.

Yes. It can be set to scan either double-sided or single-sided. So far, I have found this to be a very quick, efficient, and accurate scanner.

No, no duplex scanning or copying. You'll need to use the flatbed scanner and flip each page to do both sides. The ADF works great for single-sided, but if you need to do a ton of double-sided scanning, I'd go with one of the newer models.

I have had no problems with it reading longer receipts (although I haven't measured the length of any). I also cut off the "coupon" parts of receipts before I scan them.

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.

It does NOT scan in duplex from the flatbed glass. I doubt any scanner does. That would require a 2nd scanner in the folding lid. However, it works great for thick items. There IS hinge flexibility for books, etc. It looks like the hinges flex about 1". And you can always leave it open, like a copier.

You just slide the scanner across the receipt. I had no problems, but you will need to buy a memory card.

Yes; it actually takes *three* passes. I tried it out in a local store. It scans the first side, then turns it over and scans the second. Then it turns it over a second time, taking a third pass so that it comes out the same orientation it would have if you were just scanning one side. Presumably, this final pass can be at the full speed, but it does take (waste?) some time. I wish they'd put in a true two-sided scanner. I really like the Epson print quality, but the Brother equivalents offer both one-pass duplex scanning and 11x17 printing which is tempting.

Scans come out just fine for our purposes. Then again, this was not bought strictly for its scanning abilities. Ours is used in a small business office setting. Hope that helps.

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 have this scanner. It only scans on one side. I never installed the software that came with it because it was immediately recognized by my mac. It may have software that assists with the page ordering but I'm sure you'd have to run the document through twice. I'd google it to see if you can get the manual online. Either that or see if there is some freeware to assist with the page ordering.

I think the scanning software has some error correction capabilities It seems to work okay for me.If not maybe a third-party scanning software such as something by nuisance
