What information will I see when I scan a book?

This is a CCD scanner, but unfortunately, it only returns digital information stored in barcodes. This is not a text-reader. Typically, any lined barcode, including UPC codes on store-bought items, ISBN or library book codes and others. This is not a scanner for images, faxing, text-reading for blind or OCR. Sorry.

A simple example would be to click on the search button on Amazon, then scan a UPC/ISBN bar code by pressing the button. The scanner converts the bar code into numbers then presses enter, so the webpage will load for that item on Amazon.

This is a barcode scanner not a text scanner. You will see the same numbers under the barcode printed on the book. I use it to scan my DVD titles into a database. You can also use it to search for anything with an ISBN barcode number on the internet. Just place your cursor in the search field such as Google and scan your item. It will return the same results as if you manually typed in the name of the item. Saves you a lot of manual typing.

This scanner will scan about anything, the only problem with a book is being able to scan the back of a page, would be holding the page back far enough to make it flat enough to scan. The secret of this scanner is making a steady smooth pass over what you are scanning.

You can choose either before scanning. HP even offers an APP to handle the scanning from your PC.

You can scan pages one after the other. The file numbers change each time you roll over a new document or pic. It does a really good job and is very valuable when doing research .

There is also software you can download that will do it, but I recommend next time before you buy a computer like this to read up on everything because there are a lot of hidden surprises.

Seems to show current info; I just press a re-scan button to check if anything changes.

Yes. After scaning of the first page the program asks do you want to scan the second page, then you save all work into one file.

I'm sorry but I don't have any scanning capabilities so I couldn't say. Good luck in your quest.

In the process of scanning you have a preview and then you hit scan and there is a window to put in the title

I just leave the top I open when I scan books, and it works fine. You can save a default with your preferences, so I'd guess you can set it to economy (grayscale). I've never tried though. I usually use color.

I have scanned books, but do not remove the cover. I would not advice removing the cover. You could use your digital camera and take a picture of the page, then open the jpeg picture in Paint and cut our the page and resize the image and save back into jpeg format. You can also call up FILE and then PRINT and then PAGE SETUP and make sure you are on letter size either with half inch borders or changing the border sizes. I have scanned several books and just found that move the book around on the scan if you need to cut off blank sections like the top or bottom and even the sides to make it fit works for me.

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

Depends on the book. For textbooks not always. There isn't enough space in the book between the text and the binding so the words on the left get cut off. That or the scanner is slightly too big and wide so the scanner doesn't capture all the text. I would say for most books it's not suitable and you'd be better off with a flat bed book scanner which is much better quality and easier to use but more expensive.

It has a special slot that holds negative and slides in the lid and uses backlighting to scan the item. Once the item is scanned, it appears just like any other scanned picture on your computer.
