Scan photos with feeder? Can you scan 4x6 photos with the feeder?

There is a paper guide in the ADF tray that can be set closer together to about the right width so it would seem one can. If your photos are flexible enough - which they probably are. I haven't tried it myself. PS - Just tried it with a photo. Set the sheet feeder to the appropriate width, place your photo in the ADF tray face up. The printer will chime when you put the photo in far enough (which isn't far, so don't force it). Open HP Device Manager. I selected 'Scan to PDF' but there are other options of course. The photo gets drawn into the ADF and spat out again underneath and, most importantly, the photo suffers no damage whatsoever. Not even the slightest amount of bending. I got a great .pdf out of it too. Hoofy

Yes, it works with 3x5 photos, so long as they are not warped, bent or otherwise not perfectly flat.I send 3x5 file cards through the feeder with no problem. But if there are notes or photos glued to the 3x5 cards, or the corners are dog-eared, expect problems.

I don't see why not. I've used it to scan printed items and it works great. Only thing if it is larger than 4x6, you will need to scan in sections and use the software included to create the larger item.

JR, You should not have any problems with doing as you asked. However I would caution you that you may only be able to make corrections to the photo 4 at a time. You should be able to scan all four pictures to save time, however you should then separate them as you put them in folders allowing you to correct and print one picture at at time rather having to print all four.

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.

Didn't try that application, but I can not imagine that would work well, the item is not easy to get a simple image to scan correctly. I would not recommend it for that purpose.

It does have a document feeder, not sure how many pages it will handle at one time. Not related to scanning, I do have problems with the paper feed feeding multiple (sometimes up to five pages at a time) when printing though, this is very problematic if you have a limited amount of paper (ie, specialty paper).

I would think if your only printing 6.5x11 or smaller this would not be worth the investment. For non photo printing any good quality scanner should work. Also with 8 different ink tanks the cost of maintaining ink may be higher and unnecessary if not used for photos. That's my 2 cents.

Actually it can. If you have Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate, you can use Windows XP mode and scan away. I'm doing it right now! I've had mine for years, never had to call for support, so I can't vouch for that, but I've scanned hundreds of photos and I'm very happy with it.

it depends on the resolution you want to scan - if you chose 1 before the best, it would scan about 4 photos per minute. they don't have to be the same size; the tray only takes about 10 photos / pages at a time though - otherwise the fujitsu S1500 may be a better choice (double the price...)

Yes, one can scan multiple photos at once, provided they all fit on the platen (the glass area under the cover) without overlapping (unless, of course, overlapping images is something that's wanted). Some kind of image editing tool will be needed later, in order to pull the pictures apart into separate files (which is what is usually desired). In some cases (high-resolution scanning), the combined scan of multiple photos will be too big to edit, so scanning them one-at-a-time would be a better approach in that case.

The feeder trays are for 35mm slides and negatives. larger film would not fit in this scanner.

This particular scanner, the Kodak 4x6 P461, has a specific feeder into which you insert the negatives. It seems to me that it would not work for negatives that are not 35mm in size. I have not researched other scanners to see if they would be able to scan other negative sizes. Good Luck!

Yes! You can print 4*6 image on the letter size paper and then cut it off! The quality is very good!

I tried your suggestion and it seems to work for a single frame. Like the original poster, I have many strips of 126 negatives and would like to scan all four frames at once. Is that possible?

No - unfortunately, which was really my only complaint. My old scanner would pre-scan several photos at the same time then select just one at a time to scan. This one won't let you. If you scan multi photos at once you have to crop the scan into single photos on the back end which reduces the file sizes for the individual photos.

Angelica B. response is correct ....the internal memory of scanner will only do maybe 10 to 12 pix...
