Enough clearance to copy a page in a book? Does anyone know if the top opens far enough to allow a teachers edition, about 1.5 inches thick to be placed over the glass?

The rear hinge can move vertically to give about 3/4" clearance if you require the cover to be perfectly parallel to the glass platen. When the cover is flipped back (to about 70 angle) there is about 5" of vertical clearance above the back edge of the glass. Check Newegg for your purchase - at one hundred and four dollars today.

Hello Julieta - depending upon the thickness of the book, I would say yes. This is really a nice tool and a bargain at the price. Blessings! Howard

I would have to say yes. I tested for you by aligning a hard cover, squared off notebook-type book and no gaps. Hope this helps.

It needs to be held up away from the page ... A small gap is needed, but even half an inch is good

It's a flat plate copier, so you should be able to lay a book open on the glass and make a copy.

Space under shelf is slightly under 2 inches. A Mac Book is "thin" enough to place under shelf. I have an HP. It fits fine.

It has a mode called something like gutter cleanup. It basically tries to remove the center of the book shadow. The scanner has a sufficient border around the scanner that the book will still have to be essentially flat, with the center being prone to the shadow you describe. It seems to be decent on books in the 300-400 page range, I haven't had the need to scan really thick books 7-800 pages, so I don't know what the upper bound is. It also is ok at removing the angle up towards the shadow from the page, not perfect, but I was surprised that the center of the page was as clean as it was.

Yes -- you can scan from a book by opening the cover and laying the book on the glass. Like most book scans or copies, the binding makes one edge of the page a little distorted and blurry since the binding prevents the book page from laying flat on the glass. It will vary from book to book, but my experience has been that the pages are legible though not pretty. If you're willing to share your email, I'd be happy to send you a pdf sample of a book scan; I don't think I can attach it here.

Lisa, my wife is an avid reader and she cannot fit a book on this machine. Hope this helps.

The opening is around an inch and a half between the glass and the cover, because the two hinges that hold the cover/ADF in place extend and allow enough opening to place the average book for copying or scanning.

It will hold at least a 3" thick book. The glass is just sits in the holder so you can rotate it if you'd like to be vertical instead of horizontal; just put the measurement guide on the bottom. Even with a 14" tall book, the glass set at horizontal will hold the book open and in place. The part of the book/page will just be above the height of the glass.

Depends on the text book. I carry one 3" binder in addition. I might be able to add one more 1" binder or book.

I haven't had a problem with that. I am sure there is a limit to the amount of pressure you can put on the surface but a reasonable push to keep the book flat is fine.

Hi Guy, I tried a book that is about that size, it is wide enough-I don't think it is deep enough ^ for it it, probably would fit if you didn't have to close the zipper-Hope this helps a littleG.Riley, Waterloo

Glass measures 8-5/8" x 12-3/8. I have not tried a legal sized document on it, but it easily handles 8.5 x 11 sheets. If you are doing a lot of scanning of books, the back end of the scanner does not adjust for the thickness of the book -- but it will do 'home-use' book scanning quite OK for me.

Well, there are two sides to this product. One holds the pages open and that is probably about 1.5 inches. If you flip it around, it will hold any book but it does not hold the pages so you would have to use something like a paperclip or a rubber band to hold your place.

Yes. When you place the paper on the glass, select "COPY" from the menu screen on the display pad. That sub-menu will allow you to change the size of the copy. Hope this helps!
