Does the lid of this scanner open all the way and lay back dwon so I can scan the pages of a very old book?

Opens about 90 degrees. as far as lay back down, You will not get a quality scan unless the the pages lay flat with the scanner lid closed. In other words, if your willing to rip the pages out of your old book.

The lid lifts off completely for scans like this. remember to unplug the connecting cable first!

Yes. The scanner lid/hinge can accommodate something about an inch and a half thick. If the book is thick you can simply keep the lid open to scan. It works fine either way

Yes, I love this scanner. It detaches from the base to do books, and is very good with pics when attached to the base. High quality.

No, it scans only documents. The area to the left of the glass panel is for the automatic feed. Documents fed through the auto-feed are scanned as they pass by the panel you mentioned

Yes, it scans wonderfully everything I have put into it. Driver's license, legal paper, thin paper, etc.

Of course... That's the purpose of the document feeder. Additionally, it can scan both sides of the paper automatically. If you're comparing features on printers, make sure they can also do this. This feature is called 'duplexer'. FYI- I'm just as happy with this printer since I purchased it. I couldn't be happier.

no you can not scan a page from a book it does not allow you to do that. only if the page out of the book as a single page

Yes, yes it does. You just put the document stack in the feeder on top and it will pull them one at a time to be scanned. The alignment of the documents can be a little troublesome at times, but nothing unworkable.

I have this scanner. It only scans on one side. I never installed the software that came with it because it was immediately recognized by my mac. It may have software that assists with the page ordering but I'm sure you'd have to run the document through twice. I'd google it to see if you can get the manual online. Either that or see if there is some freeware to assist with the page ordering.

I have actually tried to do this but the way the book opens up it's very hard to get a good scan on the inside of the page where the fold is at. Otherwise it scans perfectly?

No but it is still an amazing printer. I think there must be a separate top feed you can purchase as the lid is removable and there is a narrow scanner to the left of the main copy area.

Yes. Scan's color and both side simultaneously. There is a limit on how stiff and thick the material. I've done both (for my own copy, not for official use). Thicker material might need some help navigating the slight bend on entry.

As far as I know, yes. You drag it across the material you want it scanned. But I've never used it. It's brand new, in the box. Never opened. Hope this helps.

Yes. There are other formats to which your can select your scanned image to as weell The set up of the scanning drivers and scanner management program did not load correctly from the disk , thus requiring technical call and assistance. Tech Assist was great, responsive, on point and quick. I was up and scanning in minutes after opening the box. The scanner is blazing fast and accurate. We are quite please thus far.

If anyone is currently wanting to know the answer to this question...I would not recommend taking the lid off. What I do when I need to scan items larger than the screen is scan it in multiple files and then use another program like SnagIt Editor to reassemble them. That works wonderfully!

The lid does come off. I can see anything that would restrict you from scanning oversized objects.

The tool is good for scanning of pages. Books are not flat enough to scan and I can not recommend it for this purpose.

You will need a full 21" to raise the scanner lid totally up but you could cheat about 5" max and still have a usable scanner if needed. It's a great machine!...and a great buy but yes it is big.
