Scanning Packets = one file w/ muli pg or multiple files for each page: Does that mean that if I wanted to scan my lease or school paper, it would create one file for each page?

No. That's nothing whatsoever to do with Twain. (The included non-Twain software has loads of options for whatever way you want it to scan for you.) Twain just means certain open Twain software works with the hardware you are buying. Forget it here, you don't need such compatibility with this machine as it has it's own *very good* software (along with a separate copy of Adobe Acrobat software, which just allows extra PDF manipulation after you have scanned-in the paper docs - which you probably won't need anyway if just scanning docs for basic archiving/emailing/receipts/etc.). It's worth noting that the machine has been out for YEARS now, and all the included software receives regular free updates for at least each new OS release, hence open Twain software is not needed as the included software will work on every new OS released for the foreseeable future (Win AND Mac versions are supplied! [except Acrobat version]). And as the included software works efficiently to quickly make scans in PDF (or JPG - which are also possible on this machine), manipulation afterwards can be done using *any* software you own. Anyway, definitely get this S1500 (or perhaps S1500M if Mac user. Apart from machine colour, the only difference being the version of Acrobat supplied with the machine being for Mac). It's been out a few years now, but is still the best reasonably affordable machine on the market - I know as I've tried quite a few!

Do all size sheets have to be the same. What sizes does it take. I want to scan 50 years of family photos. They are all different sizes and textures. Then I plan to burn them to disk. Does anyone know a relative quick way of doing this. I will have a new computer shortly (Vista). Right now the scanner from my cannon printer all in 1 takes a few minutes to scan each...this would take me the rest of my life. Plus I want to scan one photo at a time. Save and then I can burn to disk. HELP!! Thanks.

No. Each scans as a separate pdf file with a different file name. You would have to create a file and copy the 5 pages into the file.

yes. After scanning the first page, put the next page on screen and click "scan" instead of "exit". They will appear as separate pages on the screen, but will be combined when saved to a folder. I've only done this with pdf's but it probably works for anything else too.

Yes, you scan each page then there is a "staple" feature. No, you can not feed multiple pages, just one at a time.

I scans one page at a time. After that you will have the choice to "staple" all copies together. Lots of option bi love this thing.

You would have to scan a line at a time. If you are looking for something that will read a paragraph or even a sentence that starts in one line and ends on another it, this will not. My daughter uses it for scanning recipe instructions. There are other readers available for textbooks.

Sorry, I have only been able to scan single pages. What I do is, open the files, copy paste in Word or Power Point and then save as PDF

yes.... you and use a USB thumb drive and it will scan images to the drive for later use on your PC. Each page is saved as a jpg image which can be converted on your PC if necessary.

You can scan pages one after the other. The file numbers change each time you roll over a new document or pic. It does a really good job and is very valuable when doing research .

From my usage over the past year, every page ends up being it's own separate file name. I am not home, so I can't pull out the manual to confirm whether or not it is capable of that function.

You can scan multiple pages into 1 document by:1. Put the multiple pages to be scanned in the tray on the top2. Go to MP Navigator3. Click on the "Save as PDF"4. under the "save Settings," select a name to save if under and a location.. 5. Save Settings -> "Save as Type" -> "PDF (Multiple Pages)" After scanning it will ask if you have any other pages you want to add or if you want to "exit" and you just exit..I use a Mac Book Pro, but I hope this work for you..

As one document. However, you can easily can them as separate documents by scanning and saving separate piles.

You scan 1 document at a time as a PDF file but in the editing you can combine multiple pages into one file. You can even arranged the order incase your page 1 becomes the page 5.

The short answer is yes. But, some of the commercials for the more expensive scanners show multiple sheets of different sizes being scanned as a stack. While the 1300i can handle stacks, multiple sheets, it's best with a single paper size. There are adjustable guides to accommodate one size at a time. if you mix wide and narrow papers, with the guide usually set for the wide sheets, any narrow sizes in the stack can get skewed. The unit does compensate for slight skewing, but there are limits. So the long answer is scan similar sizes together adjusting the guides to accommodate the paper width. Length doesn't matter. Also, on excellent feature is that when multiple sheets are scanned together, they are put in the same file. I usually (always) scan to pdf.

I have scanned in single sheets and put each as a document into a file. I have not scanned in multiple sheets as one document to put in a file, so I don't know if that's possible. Sorry I can't help more.

Scans multiple pages no issue. Even can accommodate turning over the stack and scanning the other side. When it saves the file, the stack can be scanned and saved as a double sided copy. Works well. I have done close to 20 pages. No problem. I bought it to be more of a scan and send than a printer. I love it as a scanner both documents and pictures.
