Is it possible to scan directly "by hand" without the paper feeder (so as to scan a magazine or book)?

Yes. Just as suggested in previous post, you can easily scan pages from a book. Just make sure the page you're attempting to scan in flat enough so that the image is not distorted.

Best if the page is flat. Also be careful to move the scanner carefully so that you get a rectangular scan. If you scan crooked, the scan will be distorted. Just delete and try again until you have a scan you like. I got some weird ones at first, but it helps if both the page and the scanner can be against a solid wall. When I did this, got some good scans.

Yes, you can scan a book and magazine without the paper feeder. It works best on flat surface but it does drain the batteries quickly.

yes, just remove the hand wand from the dock, turn on, and roll over page or picture.

Unfortunately you cannot scan directly to the computer with this device. The scanner scans directly onto a memory card inserted into the scanner. You then have a switch on top you can toggle (scan/pc) that turns the device into a memory card reader for accessing the images. I would have preferred the option of scanning directly to the PC myself but there is a plus side. The scanner itself proves to be quite mobile, you don't need to have it attached to the PC or the PC turned on to operate it. This is handy should a friend have slides they want scanned in, you can just bring the scanner over to their house and scan away. I will say this though, after using it now for a while, I'll probably end up buying a different scanner. The image quality can be great on some shots, but on others, the automatic adjustments can give you a "washed out" image that's overly bright. For instance, on a slide of someone wearing a yellow dress, with the brightness and automatic image adjust, the scanned image makes them look like they are wearing a white dress and the image looks a bit soft and fuzzy (and there's no way to turn off or disable the automatic image adjust). Buy the scanner if you're looking for a cheap quick portable and very easy way to scan slides, don't buy it if you want the very best image available and aren't bothered about price or portability.

Yes, directly by scanning, as a download, or by attaching camera disk. See instructions for each application. Actually it is quite inexpensive and convenient. I purchase high quality photo paper @$20/100 sheets in 8"x11" size. The quality of the photos is excellent.

I haven't figured out how to scan directly to the computer but I can download off the memory card through the scanner. I prefer using the memory card, very simple to use.

Yes, load up your double sided originals in the copier/scanner auto-feeder up top and away you go. Each page is auto-fed and each side scanned simultaneously ...no flipping by the operator or the machine. Business scanning is now a breeze.

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.

Well, I always run it without the computer connected so yes, you can scan to an SD card, then move the card into your computer if it has a card reader built in - or you can connect a USB cable to your computer to transfer the pix.

You can choose either before scanning. HP even offers an APP to handle the scanning from your PC.

Yes, this scanner makes it easy to scan such things from books. However, remember the highest resolution you get is 600DPI. If that's adequate then you'd love the portability of this device.

No need to scan each page separately. Just load all pages (up to about 25 sheets) in the feeder and it scans them all as a single doc. I highly recommend this scanner. I handles the target pages quickly and efficiently, and if there's printing on the backside, it automatically scans that too. I haven't had a paper jam yet, and I use the "searchable pdf" option for output. I've used a much larger (and more expensive) Canon DR2020DU scanner for years, and this HP is much more reliable and intuitive.

No. You will have to manually straighten any paper(s) before you can do the scanning.

No, you cannot edit documents scanned in this way directly. This device only helps you take a good picture of the document... so top edit, you would need to get Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to read the text in the picture. That's not handy.

yup. It has a one button copy function, you can use it as a copy machine without a computer. The sheet feeder works pretty well. I have mine for a few years under light load, no issue. It only scans one side at a time. I use Adobe Acrobat, and it allows me to scan the reverse side on a second pass via the sheet feeder.

Sorry for the delayed answer, I haven't tried that, I normally scan then "ink" digitally.

Copy & scan yes but to print ya need something like a computer to feed data.

No problem opening the documents, We are looking for something similar to this scanner but one of the features that We arelookin for is battery operated and no need to conect to a PC.Best Regards.Norma romero.

There is no sheet feeder, but it will accept multiple page scans. Works great!
