Can the ScanSnap S1500 scan platic cards? We now need to photo copy drivers licenses that are plastic credit card thick. Do items need to flex around rollers to be scanned?

Yes they do. It scans photo stock and business cards ok, but plastic cards that are inflexible wouldn't do very well, I think.

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.

I also scanned my dl with no problems. It reported an "overlap" and gave me the options to rescan. It's not something I'd want to do too often as it may cause problems down the road with the rollers.

Only one page can be scanned at a time, and yes a photo i.d. should go through it just fine. I have scanned credit cards with it. I own this and I love it for running my business. It is easy to use and helps keep track of everything by allowing me to put it into a computer.

Yes it will scan legal size documents, via the auto paper feed. Will also scan & print double sided docs in one operation. As well, two sheets canbe double sided, also in one operation.

I have had two scanners, both Mac the s510M and the newer S1500M. I called tech and described a line that had appeared on my scans. The tech said just clean wire and roller with cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol -- I did and it worked great!

Sorry that I can't help you. I am very happy with my Scan Snap S1500 and the new software that I downloaded when I changed my PC from XP to Windows 7. I gave up on Rack 2 Filer within a few months of purchasing it. The quality of the charaters in the displayed text was very bad. I tried to find some technical support on the Internet but couldn't find anything. I guess that Fujitsu knew that they had a bad product and decided to hide. I suggest that you give up on it and just use the SnapScan.

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.

You can scan pictures and depending on the size of the picture being scanned, it can work perfectly HOWEVER the picture will be bent by the roller. If the paper the picture is printed on can withstand being bent by the roller, you're good ... but a lot of photo stocks won't withstand it. I figure here than anything 4 x 6 or smaller scans very well. Anything larger than that, I use my flatbed scanner.

The pages have to be able to go between rollers. I have scanned books and magazine articles by pulling the pages apart and feeding them through the scanner. One book I scanned was about 180 pages long, and it was all one file when I was done. It took about 30-40 minutes to scan.

Apologies for the lateness of this answer, but I finally scanned something and tried to view the scan via USB. Yep, you can do it just fine without having to remove the card. Just looked at the recipe I scanned (for Shrimp Pizza, which really is a dip and not an actual pizza!) from my hometown newspaper and it looked great.

The tray is not large enough to hold legal size paper. I don't know if a legal size paper tray can be purchased separately. It appears legal size paper can be fed through the manual feeder, and there is an option in the settings for legal size paper. The glass scanner surface is large enough to copy or scan legal size paper.

you need to purchase a micro card similar to the SanDisk microSDHC 8GB Class 2 Card with adaptor. I bought that one but didn't need the adaptor. The scanner comes with a soft pouch to carry it in, but because I know that when I will be using it at libraries, I have my hands full with notebooks, so i wanted a hard case in case i dropped it. I purchased the VuPoint case. And I did drop it the first time I took it out of my car, so glad i got the hard case.

In certain situations are wrinkled paper I do not think it will work. The scanner will most likely jam.

the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and uses the same software. the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and... » Read More the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and uses the same software. « Show Less

The only way I have used it is to do the scan, then attach the scanner to the computer via USB and drag and drop the JPG or PDF to the computer to open the document. I've been very satisfied all aspects of the scanner. Because I work out of town a lot and scan large blueprints and maps, I purchased a 32GB memory card as insurance. Max Schnepf at maxks1@cox.net

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.

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.

it will scan anything that fits in the load tray. if the picture is too thick it will stick
