When you scan books how does it handle the curve of the pages from the spine of the book?

Try scanning from the inside out: from the spine outward. You don't have to scan from the top to the bottom. If you look where the plastic screen is on the bottom of the scanner, that's where you place the scanner closest to the spine. When the image is uploaded to your PC, you should be able to flip the image. Hope that helps.

I had issues with getting all the words close to the spine if the book was thick and inside margin was small. For me, I was able to figure out what the inside words were. A few times, I did another scan straddling the 2 pages and that seemed to work good. Since my use was for my own research, it did not matter in most cases if some of the lines were wavy. I have Photoshop so was able to put the images together. Wish I had done that straddling technique more. I recommend practicing A LOT before heading out to use it to get the right flow in various start positions and know what happens if you slide it a little crooked.

The flatter you can get the book, the better the scan. Otherwise, you will get a curvy scan, but one which is readable.

There is a setting to Continue scanning. You just put the additional pages in and either click the Continue Scanning button or press the button on the scanner. All pages are saved to the same PDF file until you end the job. It can even scan both sides of the page at once.

I use a good razor knife and metal ruler to cut just off the spine. Also found if I slow down the speed it processes slower but shurer for many pages.

we have used the scanner to copy old photos to file and print, and it works fine. we have not tried to copy photos in a book. you will have some trouble if you cannot flatten the pages for the scanning process.

Basically, it's a fancy way of saying it only scans one side at a time and you have to re-insert it manually to do the second side. As the other answer correctly noted, the scanner offers software that will match up side 1 and side 2 scan to arrange pages in order automatically, so you don't have to sit at the computer manually inserting page 2, 4, etc.

Yes. I do it all the time. Just scanned in an 8 page document last night. That has more to do with software than the hardware and the software that comes with the scanner works well.

I have used it only on books in good condition, but I agree that while the scanner has not done any damage, bending the spine of the book to get the best possible scan would.

Several ways. If you are really quick you can add pages before the last page is drawn in or you can use the software or Adobe to do it. A great scanner btw

This scanner has guides that adjust to the width of whatever size document that you plan on scanning. This is in my office at work and I have successfully scanned receipts, business cards, post office return receipt green cards, etc.

This scanner will read a barcode and then click enter. I don't use BookCollectorCZ, but I know that if you have a blinking cursor in a data entry field, point this barcode reader at a barcode and pull the trigger, the code will be read off of the barcode, and entered as a string of numbers in the field, followed by "ENTER" or "RETURN" both of which mean the key that has a bent arrow and confirms. It works beautifully at this one thing. If you were looking books up in a database by the barcode then this item would probably work for you. I love it, its saved me probably a hundred hours this year, because I can rapidly scan all the barcodes in my inventory. Hope my review helped! This scanner will read a barcode and then click enter.

Scans multiple pages no issue. Even can accommodate turning over the stack and scanning the other side. When it saves the file, the stack can be scanned and saved as a double sided copy. Works well. I have done close to 20 pages. No problem. I bought it to be more of a scan and send than a printer. I love it as a scanner both documents and pictures.

No need to scan each page separately. Just load all pages (up to about 25 sheets) in the feeder and it scans them all as a single doc. I highly recommend this scanner. I handles the target pages quickly and efficiently, and if there's printing on the backside, it automatically scans that too. I haven't had a paper jam yet, and I use the "searchable pdf" option for output. I've used a much larger (and more expensive) Canon DR2020DU scanner for years, and this HP is much more reliable and intuitive.

It has a hinge at the back that allows the lid of the screener to rise up for thicker items to be screened. I love this scanner but I use it for scanning photo's and mostly smaller documents that are only 2 - 4 pages and in these instances I've usually just unstapled them and scanned them one by one but I didn't have to. It also scans photo slides really well (we had some from many years ago) and it also brightens up old yellowed photos and makes them look much newer.

no you can not scan a page from a book it does not allow you to do that. only if the page out of the book as a single page

Yes. For instance in order to scan a book you take a single picture of each page of the book. You will see what the camera is looking at, on the screen. When the focus and the brightness is right you just hit the Enter key. All the images go to the same place. My computer is set up to send the images to "D:\Documents and Settings\PC\My Documents\My Pictures\Presenter".

The paper feeds from the front. There is a small switch that is activated when the paper is fed. The scanner would work a lot better with a paper guide. Not appropriate for large scanning jobs. Software is activated on scanner's connection.

Clear plastic sheets that you put the item to be scanned between. Flattens odd shaped, crumpled pieces that tend to get caught in scanner. Works great!
