Can it scan small things, like business cards? Things that are smaller than an 8.5 by 11 in paper?

I haven't tried to scan businesse cards but I don't see how that would be an issue. I have scanned a picture and it scanned perfectly. I would suggest placing the card on plain white paper before scanning.

yes. any size with in letter / A4 sizes.but only thing is while scanning you need to pull or draw the scanner nicely and smoothly so that the thick papers like business cards doesnt stuck the rollers.However based on the selection of the size of the paper, determines the scanned page. so you may need to crop later. also while scan you make sure that keep the card on a flat surface so that the rollers are pushed / rolled to activate the scan. whatsoever explained here, its slightly tough job. hands on will give you better understanding

In concept, it will work. The tough part is that there is no way to control how large you scan area is. If your text is small, the scanned area could be several lines high. I found recognition somewhat unpredictable when I tried to use this for receipts.

Yes, the scanner bed is 11"x17" so you can scan documents up to that size. You can make reduced size copies, but keep in mind that 11"x17" and 8.5"x11" are not the same proportionally. From 11" down to 8.5" is a reduction to 77% ; from 17" down to 11" is a reduction to 65%. You can reduce a Tabloid size document down to Letter size, but you will gain white space in the process.

Yes, you can scan just about card, document, or item that can be fed through the scanner

Yes, you can scan any size copy. You may have to make more than one pass. For instance you can scan the 11x17 copy by making two passes, going horizontally rather than vertically.

No, it can't. I've got mine here, and it is not 11 inches wide, only a little more than 8 1/2" wide. It can scan long pages, longer than 11 inches, but I've not found a way to do wider than the machine.

It will scan 8.5"X14" and shrink it to 8.5"X11". An excellent scanner for the money.

Yes. It's a great product. Eliminated my Rolodex and I can scan letter, legal, etc. and business cards. It doesn't take up much space on my desk... I LOVE IT!

Karen, yes you can but it should be done carefully. The mouse/scanner is best when covering a smaller area but can scan a very large area. I have not tried it beyond 8.5x11 but it seems like it may work for even larger surfaces. It takes some practice to scan larger areas but it really works well. The OCR is pretty decent also. Once scanned you can set the image size to whatever you like with a good editor.

I have only used it for printing letter sized paper. I have not used it to scan or print legal.

The software is easy to use. I'm not sure about scanning business cards or other cards.

This is the only downside to this scanner - it will only scan up to an 8.5 x 14 - legal document size. I wish it would do 11 x 14 but I decided to get this one anyway because of over size of the scanner, the difference in price, and that I have so few photos I need to scan that I don't have an 8 x 10 or smaller copy of, I can take the others somewhere to get them scanned.

I'm not sure what you mean by the size of the scanner, however, I have scanned legal documents without a problem.

You bet it can! I use it for all my sales receipts, warranties, insurance documents, etc. If you're concerned about the size of a receipt, then have no worries. Just place it on the far left and it will go through straight. I've scanned business cards, labels from items I've bought, etc. I honestly don't know what I'd do without this wonderful home scanner. Hope this helps.

The specs for the scanner state that it will scan legal size. I have found that the scan needs to be smooth without interruptions such as those that could be encountered with folds. Continue to love this little scanner.

The maximum width of photo or document this unit will scan is 8.5" with the unit docked. I don't believe there is a max length. I never tried any larger than 8.5" x 11".

It will scan just about everything. You need select the advanced menu if your stuff is odd sized. I have scanned odd sized slides, the old style film strips, negatives of odd size as well. there are some trade offs- since it only comes with the 3 presized holders, it is a bit finicky, but it works.
