If you need to scan a large book, can you completely remove the scan cover to lay the book flat or does it only hinge open?

I have scanned books, but do not remove the cover. I would not advice removing the cover. You could use your digital camera and take a picture of the page, then open the jpeg picture in Paint and cut our the page and resize the image and save back into jpeg format. You can also call up FILE and then PRINT and then PAGE SETUP and make sure you are on letter size either with half inch borders or changing the border sizes. I have scanned several books and just found that move the book around on the scan if you need to cut off blank sections like the top or bottom and even the sides to make it fit works for me. But, I would not remove the cover.

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. I tried to remove it and was unsuccessful. However, the cover did move up so that when you close it you can put a thicker document in it. I don't recommend this printer because it does not handle paper very well. It frequently fails to feed the paper so that it can print.

It is hinged and doesn't appear to be removable. However, it can be raised approximately 1/4 to 1/2-inch to allow for thicker material to be scanned.

It works just fine. You would place the scanner on the book, with the top taken off and move it around the book page. Depending on how big the old book is will determine how many times you have to move the scanner. One thing I learned the hard way was that I didn't overlap the scanned pieces enough at the beginning and the stitching software couldn't put it into a whole piece. Otherwise I have taken this with me on my genealogy quests with great satisfaction. Only problem, as I've mentioned before is the battery dependence. Bring extra memory cards or have the ability to download from the little card. Without a card or battery, it doesn't work. It works just fine.

I have used it only on books in good condition, but I agree that while the scanner has not done any damage, bending the spine of the book to get the best possible scan would.

Yes you can, no problem. BUT when I open a book the front cover goes to my left. Not so with this cover IF you want the Kindle to not open up-side-down. Leave it on auto rotate and all is well after the Kindle is fired up. No biggie, just an obvious over sight that surprised me.

Do you mean fold the magnifier, or do you mean to close it into a book? I am also looking to purchase something like this, and thought that was what your question was. I would be interested in if it is thin enough to close it in a book, like a large bookmark magnifier.

It's just the hinge, NOT the bookshelf. I think the manufacturer may sell the full package, hinge with the bookshelf if you go to their website.

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.

I have actually copied a number of large textbook-style books. The cover doesn't ride up, like many scanners, but I have found that it works well even with the copier cover up when I press down on the book. The glass is designed for 8.5 x 14 inch paper (in the US that's called "legal" size), but for a really large page, it's possible to copy it in sections; the copier is designed with almost no protrusions to get in the way once the cover is up. Two side paper (I think you mean text on both sides of the paper)--I don't know of any equipment that will actually turn the pages for you. It's a college skill: Learn it.

Yes you can lift it up or open it to place items on the flat bed, thats how I scan most of my items.

It is designed to use when opened flat only. The purpose of the hinge is for opening and closing the calculator, a full 180 degrees. It will flop around if you open it and hold it up in the air and wave it around.

No physical hinge. Think of a 'folder" that opens up. whenyou open it up, you will see a slot for you to slide in your tab on one side and the other side is what you see in the iamge of the keyboard. On the "outside" is kind of like aleather-like flip stand that allows you to prop up the screen while the keyboard section lies flat on your typing surface. Hope that helps.

If you can get the scanner flat on the surface of each picture you should be ok. If the picture is wedged close to the spine of the book you won't be able to get the scanner to see all of it.

If you mean damage to the scanning element, that isn't an issue for document scanners. Unlike a flatbed scanner, the scanning element is fixed in place and the document is moved past the element to capture the scan. Really, the only moving parts are those that feed the document through. I have a Fujitsu portable document scanner that I've carried in my backpack for over a year with no damage (it is stored in a carrying case, but that is mostly to prevent cosmetic damage).

Although I use my new and very utilitarian, inexpensive scanner successfully to also sell (new) books, I find that the scanner will only be useful if one is scanning information to a program created and activated to accept the ISBN codes appearing on book jackets or covers. The facility to which one plans and attempts to sell must be set up to accomodate the information one wishes to transmit. My scanner works simply and completely satisfactorily (right out of the box) for such pre-planned purposes. I assume, therefore, that it will likewise function well if used to keep count and title infpormation for other purposes as well.

You can remove the lid but be very carefull. I dont think you need to remove the lid. I have scanned pictures still in the frame and I have scanned 3d objects. Just be gentle don`t put a lot of pressure on the white panel thingy.

The tool is good for scanning of pages. Books are not flat enough to scan and I can not recommend it for this purpose.

I have had no problems scanning pages from top to bottom on larger books. Smaller books have to be scanned from the spine to the edge of the pages side ways. It may take some practice to scan the entire manuscript on pages and to get the best speed. I use a class 10 chip. I have had only a few pages have "warps" on the scans. I am very pleased with this product, it has met all of my needs and expectations as a genealogist.
