The video shows pristine source documents. Can this scanner handle, say, articles torn from magazines or pages torn from spiral notebooks?

I use it for just that! Once in a while, I run into a problem with the page sliding a little. This is due to the thin paper and glossy finish, I believe. I have also noticed with some of these glossy mag pages, lines will appear in the scan... Also due to the gloss finish, I am assuming. But, for the most part, it is great for scanning notes, magazine pages, documents, receipts, etc.

I have never used it for documents, but because it is stored on a usb flash drive I would have to say yes as to anything you would like to scan through, it also saves to your hard drive.

yep! That's what I have. Works great. Fine scanner--for docs and negs alike.

I bought it specifically to scan a collection of Kodak color slides taken in the 60s - 70s along with old prints and it has done an excellent job. I would recommend it. Here's a review from PC Magazine written in November 2009: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2355184,00.asp

It could be done, but there are far better scanners for scanning books. It's great for small things like business cards or a small image on a page, but not whole pages. As l said it could be done, but you would go insane.

Yes. The scanning function works really well for multiple and 2-sided documents scanned to a single file.

Yes and no. It isn't a true document scanner so you are manually scanning each and every page. The main point of interest is the optical character application (Adobe's ABBYY FineReader Version 9). This converts scanned text to either PDF or Word format. It's not a bad program for pamphlets and pure text documents. However I was hoping to scan a workshop manual for my car - that was a Fail for reasons that have more to do with Word than with FineReader. In short I am now looking for document scanning software because nothing included with the scanner was up to the task I was attempting.

I've had that problem on occasion usually when there are folds in the paper. My solution has been to put a slight crease in the document length wise first. I think it handles paper better than the other scanners I've used but still not perfect

It will scan anything...decoding it is another matter. I can't confirm whether it will support those standards but $14 you can. :)

I actually scanned my drivers license for a document submission and it worked fine. The paper path bends slightly (maybe 15 degrees) but does not wrap around a roller. It scans both sides on one path so there is no back and forth.

If you can place the document or photo you want to scan perfectly flat on the scanner, it will do a good job stitching. Sometimes you will have to try a couple of times, but it will stitch just fine.

Supposedly this can scan thicker objects but I would be cautious. I scanned only one page at a time.

have never tried it. the scanner will stop if you feed it too fast and finds that the paper is too long.

Yes! I have been happy with this scanner. Has a reasonable price tag. Good luck!

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.

no.... it isn't made for that. It only scans slides, negatives and film strip. But it works really well for that.

Yes, it works best if they are taped to a blank page - you can choose the clarity of the scan and it is easy to do.
