Would this work to scan antique cabinet photos? They are thicker than normal photographs - like cardboard thickness. Thanks :)

Supposedly this can scan thicker objects but I would be cautious. I scanned only one page at a time.

I don't think so. You need a flatbet scanner for that. This will only feed normal sheets of paper.

Seems fairly accommodating. I definitely tried cardstock thickness and it was fine.

Yes I would think so. Keep in mind the size of area scanned is smaller then 8 1/2 x 11 - looks like smaller then 6 x 4. I really like it because of its compact size. I did scan a larger picture which is done in sections and has software that puts the images together. It was amazing the job it did.

It will scan photographic paper, but the results do not compare with a good quality flatbed scanner. Adequate if you are in a pinch....

It is possible. I used it to scan manuals and large books. It works out ok, requires a little editing afterwards (rotation).

I scanned a bunch of old family photos from the 40s-60s, and it did fine, it pulled them straight through using the guides. They were of different sizes so I sorted as best I could and batch scanned the groups. Somewhat difficult to navigate the setting menus to obtain the highest resolution (1200x1200), in color, and the correct size. Much faster and easier than a flat scanner.

I, too, have the old, old, old large negatives from the early 1900s through 1960s - most are B&W; - that I want to scan. Will this scanner do those? I had purchased a PanDigital Photo/Negative Scanner, but it would only do 35mm negatives, so I sent it back. I really need to know if this will do the old old old b&w; negatives that are big?

YES!! That is why I purchased. It scans much faster that the regular flat scanner. Pictures, documents, legal size papers

I think it is a question of thickness. I have scanned a DVD with it which worked fine. That should give you an idea of how thick a document you can pass through it. I also was able to scan some old Poloroid photos that had a thick backing attached. Basically if you can get it to pass through the slot and have the motor driven roller pull it through it will scan.

It does works on photos, although the quality will match that of printed pictures from the 80s and 90s. If you have a more modern, high definition printed picture, it's scanned copy will be of lesser quality.

HI, it is possible to scan your old negatives. BUT, handle them with great care and align them without using the "slide holder". If they are wider than the holder unfortunately they will have to be cut down. Visit your local "STAPLES" etc and buy a piece of wafer thin clear Perspex, cut this to be the same size as the "slide holder", use 2 pieces and just trap the neg, use a bit of cellotape on the leading edge to hold the 2 bits together and this will act as a hinge to make it easier to load. Download "picassa" on your pc and you can then remove any dust or other marks from the negs. Have fun, anything is possible.

In concept, it will work. The tough part is that there is no way to control how large you scan area is. If your text is small, the scanned area could be several lines high. I found recognition somewhat unpredictable when I tried to use this for receipts.

No I don't think so. I believe those pages are too thick.I would def use a flatbed scanner for those!This is mostly for the thickness of a single print or piece of paper.I think the largest page of paper was 8-1/2x 11 but it was just standard paper thickness.I hope this helps!

This device will scan anything that will fit through the scan slot. I've used it a lot for scanning 8.5x11 inch pages for archiving articles that I want to keep but not have piles of paper laying around.

This is not thick. Color laser photo papers are thin, but has somewhat of a glossy effect. If this is going for a copier, it should work perfectly fine. Otherwise, if you're looking for something thick as far as paper, then no. There are other options

I have this scanner and I have scanned photos as small as 1 1/2 x 2 (small school pictures). Thick ones on cardboard scan also. Only issue I had was several photos on a single sheet of paper can get stuck on the edges, but that is expected. Great little scanner, scanned 1000's of photos.

Absolutely NOT. The scanner's light source will only cover up to a 35mm negative or slide's image area. I was hoping to do 2-1/4 negatives and super slides but there's no possible way. It does 35mm's and flat art just great, though.
