Scanner? Is there a flat bed scanner?

Yes, there is a flatbed scanner and it works beautifully. You can scan it to a .tif file or other formats, but you have to have the HP software dialog box open. On the minus side, the scanner is set to scan at "millions of colors" and can't be readjusted except manually, with each thing you scan. You have to click through a lot of dialogue boxes. Another reviewer mentioned scanning to .pdf, but I haven't been able to find that feature despite several hours trying. I use a separate app, ScantoPDF, but with about 7 clicks per page necessary to make a scan, I wouldn't call the process here blazingly fast.

Thank you for your quick reply. What about the MF4690? I posted a similar question regarding that one. It seems much newer. Does it happen to have a function that somehow supports duplex scanning, without having to *manually* re-order the pages?

I finally just went back to using my flatbed scanner..none of the smaller gadgets would work properly.

Thae scanner can be fed individually sheet bt sheet on the flatbed glass or up to 30 pages at a time through the document feeder. The document feeder can also be set up to scan the front & back of each page.

No. The scanner doesn't have its own storage and needs to be connected to a computer via USB to work. If you want more portable scanning, try the Doxie Go, for example.

No, it only scans on the top, flatbed feeder. I have a Fujitsu Scansnap that does an excellent job of continuous feed scanning.

You will be able to scan legal size document from the sheet feeder, but not on the glass bed. Hope this helps.

The scanner is both flatbed A4/Letter size and it has an automatic document feeder for A4 and Letter paper. The flat bed scanner can work with media around 1" thick.

I just tried that out... Something like a drivers license did scan, but with some persuasion... It's not perfect because of the rigidness of the card and the fact the paper-path has a slight bend to it. Flatbed most definitely recommended for that. Something flimsier like an insurance card went through fine.

I have the same question! I am looking for something to scan the old black and white negatives- larger ones than 35mm. Have you found a scanner that will do that, mt gal? If you do, can you let me know at dlamp3300@aol.com ? Thanks

No. It's just a printer. There used to be a scanner head available, but it's been discontinued.

For best possible resolution and quality I would personally use a flatbed. This is for business use and is good but there is better out there for photo quality scans. It will do a very good job though and is speed is important it would not be a bad way to go.

Yes, it can but not advisable. It's going to bend the picture and because it run in a roller, it scanning accuracy is not guaranteed. Get a flatbed instead.

It will scan anything that you can lay flat however file sizes tend to be large even on the lowest resolution setting. It does not scan water marks and holographs,
