I own this scanner and it works great even for thick stock. The key is in the paper path. Many Multi-Function/AIO devices feed the document through a 180 degree path with a small radius, requiring excessive bending such that the rollers may not be able to drive the document through the bend.The S510's paper path is practically straight through the machine and is thus very gentle and reliable.

I just fed over 120 fabrication tickets through this scanner in no time at all. Lightning fast feed and no jams. The paper is about the thickness of a post card. No problems at all.

I just duplex scanned 2500 3 X 5 cards with perhaps one jam. I really like this scanner. Keep it clean and you should have no problem.

Do all size sheets have to be the same. What sizes does it take. I want to scan 50 years of family photos. They are all different sizes and textures. Then I plan to burn them to disk. Does anyone know a relative quick way of doing this. I will have a new computer shortly (Vista). Right now the scanner from my cannon printer all in 1 takes a few minutes to scan each...this would take me the rest of my life. Plus I want to scan one photo at a time. Save and then I can burn to disk. HELP!! Thanks.

The short answer is yes. But, some of the commercials for the more expensive scanners show multiple sheets of different sizes being scanned as a stack. While the 1300i can handle stacks, multiple sheets, it's best with a single paper size. There are adjustable guides to accommodate one size at a time. if you mix wide and narrow papers, with the guide usually set for the wide sheets, any narrow sizes in the stack can get skewed. The unit does compensate for slight skewing, but there are limits. So the long answer is scan similar sizes together adjusting the guides to accommodate the paper width. Length doesn't matter. Also, on excellent feature is that when multiple sheets are scanned together, they are put in the same file. I usually (always) scan to pdf.

It cannot scan anything that is rigid like a drivers license. Not sure how to answer you on the ID card question, it would scan that like any other paper

Not sure what you mean by documents. It will only scan up to 11 inches wide. Maybe you mean will it tear up a document when the document is put into the scanner? If so, you can buy clear document protector sheets to put the documents into to scan. Not sure where you can buy them, but probably on Amazon!

The default seems to be to scan multiple pages as one document but you can change that in the advanced settings. So the answer is that you can scan either way.

I've scanned every type of document with this scanner and it performed top notch. I believe there's a micro switch in the feeder area to detect and pull documents through, so it really depends on how the user aligns each document when scanning. I haven't had a problem with receipts being scanned straight.

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.

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.

I use it to scan receipts. Full page items work best. But the receipts that are 3.5 inch wide work as well you just have to set it up. I use acrobat with a custom page width and the crop it for receipt length.

I have used to scan documents, photos (b&w; and color), checks and flexible cards. I have not tried to scan something like a credit card. hope that helps!

No answer, just want to concur. The printer claims it can handle cardstock by offering a paper setting in its printer manager software for cardstock but it always jams when trying to feed it from the tray.

Hi. yes it is. We use it for medical records too but experienced some trouble making it work. BTW , we still have to shrink every card scanned.

It depends on how stiff the card actually is. If the cards can bend a little, then they can be scanned. If they're rigid, forget it. My current driver's license and health insurance card are too stiff for the scanner. Same with credit cards. My dental and car insurance cards are flexible enough to scan without problems. Business cards are generally OK. I have a laminated certification credential that likewise scans just fine. If a card is too stiff, the scanner can't scan it - the one major disappointment I have with this device. The mechanism seems as if it could unlatch to handle the stiffer items, but the software detects the unlatched condition as an error and won't perform the scan. In any case, I use the machine on a Mac and, despite the limitations, I love the thing.

I called Epson directly with this question, and the rep said "To be honest...." this printer isn't really designed to handle the "stiffer" paper, like cardstock for greeting cards or business cards. I appreciate their honesty! because I was all set to get this printer, but it turns out it isn't designed with one of the major functions I want. ((Weird -- it makes coloring book pages and prints on DVDs -- but won't print on cardstock?!)Back to the drawing board.....

Yes. I do it all the time. Just scanned in an 8 page document last night. That has more to do with software than the hardware and the software that comes with the scanner works well.

It will not scan. It is just a printer. It will print legal size paper. Here is a link to the manual for this printer: http://www.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01272430.pdf
