Does the paper feed in from the front or the rear? And does the software launch automatically when the scanner detects paper insert to be scanned?

The paper feeds from the front, there is a small latch or trigger which the paper passes and it automatically begins the scan process. It is sometimes hard to keep the paper feeding straight.

Feeds from the front. I am using it with Windows 8 - the scanner is not 100% compatible with 8. Sometimes it detects the paper, and sometimes it does not. I am not 100% satisfied with the scanner.

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.

As others have indicated, the paper feeds from the front. If you use the included software, you can have it prompt you to proceed with the scan. This is particularly helpful to allow you to carefully insert the paper. For double-sided OCRing, it is very handy, and works fine with Windows 7 Ultimate.

This printer has a one pass two sided scan feature when using the document feeder. The printing part is a duplexing though so it does not print on both sides at the same time but print one side then reverse feeds and print s on the next side.

I have this scanner. It only scans on one side. I never installed the software that came with it because it was immediately recognized by my mac. It may have software that assists with the page ordering but I'm sure you'd have to run the document through twice. I'd google it to see if you can get the manual online. Either that or see if there is some freeware to assist with the page ordering.

No. The only paper feeds are from the paper tray (underneath) and the rear feeder. Both must be blank paper. Automatic Document Feeders, which is what you are looking for, are considerably more expensive.

I own this scanner and it works great even for thick stock. The key is in the paper path. Many Multi-Function/AIO devices feed the document through a 180 degree path with a small radius, requiring excessive bending such that the rollers may not be able to drive the document through the bend.The S510's paper path is practically straight through the machine and is thus very gentle and reliable.

Yes, this printer has auto-feed for scanning and printing. Faithfully working for over a year now and I keep it busy.

The scanner is very portable, and this prevents it from havinga sheet feeder. So yes, you do. Even at that, I found it much fasterthan using a printer/scanner and turning the sheets over, which makesa rather hard to use file.

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.

The auto feed on the top only works for the scanner and copier. Envelopes and non standard paper have to go in the paper feeder. Hopefully that helps.

Yes it will scan legal size documents, via the auto paper feed. Will also scan & print double sided docs in one operation. As well, two sheets canbe double sided, also in one operation.

It is automatic in the sense of placing your documents at the rear slot. It then takes it in, folds it and out from the front slot. You have to place (better to drop from 1/2 inch) into the rear slot one letter at a time (up to 3 sheets I think) and remove the folded letter from the front.

I just recently got this scanner, so am still learning some of the many features. In any event, the answer is that you can scan multiple documents/photos/slides or negatives provided they fit on the scanner bed. There is no automatic feed. You must manually set up the items that you want to scan. It's pretty easy to then save the items to your PC or other media. Hope this answers your question. You can also go to the Canon site for further information on the product.

Yes. It scans both sides in one pass. You have to select this option in the scanner dialog box. It does a great job but it takes a little practice to get the documents straight into the paper slot.

At the back of the machine, there is a small slot, you need to insert your paper there. Be sure you have a straight edge on your paper, you might need to trim it with scissors. Push it in as far as possible and with the calculator turned on, push the feed button, the paper should begin to feed into the machine.

No, it only scans on the top, flatbed feeder. I have a Fujitsu Scansnap that does an excellent job of continuous feed scanning.

The one I have came with a base that it attaches to allowing you to feed the paper through between the base and the handheld scanner, and also you can detach the scanner from the base and use it as a portable scanner by slowly passing the scanner over the item being scanned. This gives you the versatility to feed single sheets of paper through the scanner when it is attached to the base or if you need to scan a page in a book, you can do that too. I hope this answers your question sufficiently.

It scans both sides all the time if there is anything at all on the back side and is very quick. It is very easy to delete the pages you don't want before you save it.
