How fast does it scan? Can it scan multipage documents without jamming?

Haven't timed it, but it's quite fast. We scan all of our mail, and haven't had a jam yet while scanning from the feeder tray. Works great.

Very, very well. The largest document I have scanned is approximately 20 pages. The scanner scans doublesided through the ADF which is a huge win for me as most of my work is double sided. This scanner is a workhorse and I am very pleased with it for the price.

Well its not very good for being a "scanner" - is the scan rate/continue is very slow and buggy. But you do it by holding down the VM/scan button for 2.5s - hitting the menu button clears the scan mode and in the software you designat e an S for channels you want skipped during scan - there is no lock out.

The DS is a manually fed scanner. I have not really timed it but I would say that you could scan 2 to 3 pages per minute. The nice thing about the DS is that you can scan multiple documents to the same pdf file. If you are going to scan a lot of papers you may want to consider a pricier auto feed scanner. I like this one for scanning occasional bills and receipts.

We've been very pleased with this scanner so far. It scans both sides of the document, multiple pages, black and white or color, and places them in one file. Fast and efficient. We also use it for check scanning in our business and have been very happy with this feature as well.

I purchased the printer and it does do duplex scanning. In addition to the single scanning glass inside the machine itself, there is a document feeder tray on top that I've used to scan 3-4 pages (give or take) at a time.

It will scan anything...decoding it is another matter. I can't confirm whether it will support those standards but $14 you can. :)

I have had no problems with scanning. You can preselect paper size on the computer driver before you select scan and it will scan the whole document.

That is correct. No need to feed 1 page at a time. It will scan multiple pages. I just don't know how many pages can be scanned. All the pages will be scanned in one file and not one file per scan.

I read reviews and virtually all of them are concerned on photo scanning. I want to buy the scanner because I want to scan multi-page documents and books. My main concern is how this scanner copes with shadows in the middle of the thick books. My HP scanner and Epson all-in-one machine leave big shadows when scanning thick documents. ave tried document scanning as well?

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

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

I've used it for extensive scanning and it does extremely well -- it's also very fast. Some people that complain about scans being too light apparently fail to realize they need to adjust the scan sensitivity, called the threshold level; this is accomplished using the provided scanning software called MF Toolbox. That level can be adjusted from 0 to 256, with higher numbers resulting in darker scans. It defaults to 128 (mid-range), which can result in a scan that is too light.

You will physically flip each page of the book. It goes pretty quick. I've found I can scan about 100 pages in an hour. The software has a feature that alternates every other scanned page 180 degrees. This way, your document is right side up through out once you're done scanning, even though you are rotating your book 180 degrees with each page turn.

It scans a sheet in about 2 seconds. You can put a large stack in trey and it will scan all very quickly. Great scanner!!

Yes, it does a good job scanning both sides through the top document feeder. It is slower of course, but works well. That is one of the reasons I upgraded from an 8480dn, I needed double sided scanning. For mixed one sided and two sided documents, I simply delete the blank pages with acrobat.
