The pages have to be able to go between rollers. I have scanned books and magazine articles by pulling the pages apart and feeding them through the scanner. One book I scanned was about 180 pages long, and it was all one file when I was done. It took about 30-40 minutes to scan.

You can scan individual pages and collate into (1) PDF file. Insofar as moving on surface you're probably thinking of a hand held scanner that you move over document.

No, you cannot. It only scans sheets of paper, one at a time. It is good when you are on the road or on hotels and receive documents for approval. You can easily print your document using hotel facilities, then scan the signed document to respond. That was my only use, since I have to travel a lot in my work.

As far as I know, yes. You drag it across the material you want it scanned. But I've never used it. It's brand new, in the box. Never opened. 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.

Presumably your printer/scanner has a USB portal.In which case I'm quite sure it's doable but I wouldn't know exactly how. But many folks could know.

It is movable without great difficulty, but it was not designed to be portable. It would be awkward to carry it around. It is a terrific scanner, especially for books and oddly shaped documents.

I use it as a paper weight. It was bought to scan and save craft magazine articles, but the effort involved in getting an acceptable image can be daunting. And, I recommend buying a case of batteries with it, because you will only get a handful of copies from a set. At least don't use the wi-fi feature and remove or replace the batteries after each use.

I'd say yes. Keep in mind the quality of the copy won't be as good as with a regular scanner, but it's very decent. I carry my scanner in my murse (male purse) and scan all mail and important documents. I use it sometimes to scan book pages as well and the copies are pretty good.

Yes! The scanner works best with documents, books, text of any kind. Easiest printer to setup that I've ever used.

no.... it isn't made for that. It only scans slides, negatives and film strip. But it works really well for that.

Yes you can. It's very easy and has multiple options for different needs. I use the most basic feature that allows me to scan an entire page and save it to my desktop wirelessly.

Yes and No. You can but it will not be that efficent. It will work but it will not work like a normal usb scanner. If you are really mobile it would probably work good but otherwise I would say buy a normal one because they are also more inexpensive . Hope this helps

It,s not a Very Good scanner.Sometimes I have to change the position of the product to scan.

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 don't see why not! As long as its on paper that you can scan it through, it shouldn't be a problem. I haven't tried that, but I don't see why you can't.

I think it would be easy enough if you have a flatbed scanner. But, the book does not lay down completely flat.

Yes. I use it to scan documents and photos for Family History Work. It is especially useful to either color correct old photos or remove flaws from the originals.
