Hack ScanSnap S300 / S300M to Scan Extra Long Documents: Does anyone know how to hack the scansnap S300M or S300 to scan very long documents such as 8.5" by 30"?

Hi, Please find out if theScanSnap S300M keeps copies of items that I've copied via it, and, if so, how I can access them. For example, if I've used it to copy & then print a page (and did not save it on my computer), can I later go back and re-print it?

I'm not sure that I understand what you are trying to accomplish but you can scan as many documents as will fit on the glass and then need to crop the scans using a third party image processing program (I use Photoscape, it's a free download) to crop the scanned images into individual jpeg files to store. There is no "autoscan" software available with the Mustek software.

I honestly don't know because I only scan documents which are 8.5x11. Sorry.

I'm also interested in scanning bulky books. This scanner sounds good because it's fast. The film/slide capability would be a great bonus, but fast book scanning and OCR are my priorities. One big question is whether or not the lid can be removed. Another Canon model only accommodates media up to 1 inch thick. Meanwhile, I have found the Plustek Opticbook 3600, designed _specifically_ for book scanning. So other book scan fans should take a look at this one.

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!

yep! That's what I have. Works great. Fine scanner--for docs and negs alike.

Thanks for this info - that definitely shows that the MF4150 has some awareness for the need to do duplex copying.My next question would be: Can the software that comes with the scanner allow you to scan one side of 30 pages, then scan the other side of the same 30 pages, then the software will generate a PDF that orders the pages correctly?

The question confuses 2 different paper sizes. "Legal Size" is the name given to 8.5" x 14" paper, which has the same width as standard "letter size," but is 3 inches longer. Most sheet-fed scanners that scan ordinary "letter size" will be able to scan "legal size." Thus my ScanSnap S1500 (as well as the above-mentioned S1300i) easily scans legal-size paper. Another paper size, 11" x 14," which is both wider and longer than letter size, is sometimes used to make large photographic prints or small posters; as far as I know, it has no common name. Most consumer scanners (both sheet-fed and flat-bed) are NOT wide enough to scan this paper. Scanners that handle this size are much more expensive; commercial photocopy centers (and my local library) have these scanners.

The maximum width of photo or document this unit will scan is 8.5" with the unit docked. I don't believe there is a max length. I never tried any larger than 8.5" x 11".

I have the same question! I am looking for something to scan the old black and white negatives- larger ones than 35mm. Have you found a scanner that will do that, mt gal? If you do, can you let me know at dlamp3300@aol.com ? Thanks

I never timed it but maybe 5-10 seconds to scan an 8.5 x 11 document; if you go too fast it will indicate an error

Yes it can. Even longer pages can be scanned. You are just limited on the width to 8.5.

I have the WorkForce 845, and all you have to do is click the "Add Page" button after it scans and you can scan additional documents from any source. Not sure if the 3520 works the same, but it would be silly if it didn't.

ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap™ 4.1 is the included version, if that's of any help.

I had the same question. The Fujitsu website says it does. See link below. Rick http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/computing/peripherals/scanners/scansnap/s1300.html

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.

Does the ScanSnap S1500 have an adjustable paper guide in order to handle business checks which would be my main use.Does the ScanSnap allow you to save files that you have created using Windows 7
