What is the quality of the scanning feature?

It does well with scanning and copying on Windows 8. I haven't tried it with Linux yet. We've been very happy with this printer. My only gripe is how fast the cartridges run out. They are small so it's to be expected. I would definitely buy this printer again.

The included software will let you save the scan as a jpeg or a tiff. I think it also has other formats, but these are the only two I use. Tiff files allow you to edit without creating artifact.

Yes! I have been happy with this scanner. Has a reasonable price tag. Good luck!

Yes. That has been my experience. Quality is not superior but decent. This is an affordable scanner for the masses. I recommend this highly IF you intend to use this for scanning large documents and books. I use my older Fujitsu ScanSnap 1500M if I want to scan regular size documents, receipts, business cards since the quality is superior. Hope this helps.

I found that you can do small adjustments before scanning, mainly exposure, but I do more once I've uploaded it to my computer. The exposure adjustments are pretty good though.

Nonsense. I use Photoshop to scan using the MP800, and it is far superior to the MP Navigator program.You can buy a Photoshop Elements (i.e not a pirated version) for about £10 ($15).Allen.

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.

Yes, it is. And a real work horse of a scanner. The quality is excellent and I've never had a hint of trouble with the ones in my office and that is with very heavy use every day.

I have had only good scans from photos. As you probably know you have to have glossy finish photos. Matte finish will give you lots of white and black specks due to the texture of the paper. That applies to any scanner. And of course set your dpi to 300 or greater if you want excellent quality. Epson has an excellent image color and brightness/contrast editing option as well.

It scans anything of paper thickness that is not wider than the scanner. Once scanned in you can save to any program in your computer to manage documents or photos. The feed works well, so no skewing or blurring that is likely with the "wand" types. I have scanned some of everything - photos, artwork, receipts, ID cards and etc. No problems. This is great. Has little protective case. Just plug into USB port and start scanning. I have had no problems at all with this scanner. And very portable. Fits into my soft laptop case. Highly recommend this little scanner.

I bought the unit but haven't used it as yet. My friends tell me that they can scan almost anything, including old photos that are bent. Should do checks just fine.

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 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

Limited to scanning 8 1/2 x 11 at a time. I think Can be saved as PDF. Haven't done much with it yet.

The last scanner I bought is horrible and I need to send it back but haven't had an opportunity. It doesn't scan in color and the documents scan horribly with all kinds of dots and spots on it. I am very dissatisfied with it. The one I had previously stopped scanning multiple pages it started scanning 3 to 4 pages and would stop in the middle of the scan.

Regards M. N. Magan, Sorry I can not comment on the performance on linux, I use it on microsoft. I have the scanner 5 years old and I have not had any problem, I would buy without hesitation.

I have been very satisfied with the quality of the scan of photo's both color and b&w.; Speed of the scanner is great, comparing it to an earlier CanoScan I had. I have had some difficulty bringing up the advanced tools to scan negatives, but need to read the manual for detailed directions. I would recommend this scanner.
