were you able to scan without the sleeve?

Yes. The only time you need the sleeve is if the original picture is wrinkled, on very thin paper, or uneven (like with glue or something on the back). It is possible a print in good condition without the sleeve might get jammed in the scanner and wrinkle, but I never had it happen.

I'm not sure if this answers your question but I run my pictures through on their own, the other stuff is to help keep it clean so it doesn't leave dust or tracks on the photo or the scan... Does that help??

The instructions advises against scanning without the sleeve. I have never had any problem with streaking etc. I think this is a good product for scanning small pictures.

Yes but with or without it causes a line to appear on the scan so I had to stop using it. Very disappointing. I would not recommend.

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.

You probably cannot scan a plastic card. It would not go around the roller. You could lift the lid and scan in on the flat bed though.

The scanner will certainly operate with the cover open, but the focus is very narrowly limited to the platen surface. So if you are holding an item just above that, it may not be possible to get a crisp image result.

Can't recall which sleeve I bought. Sorry. However as it turns out I really didn't need one, as it went through a standard wooden house wall. You only need a sleeve if you are going through a very thick wall like cinder block or perhaps brick.

I used the arm but it looks as though you can use it without the arm as well.

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 pretty much anything, but you need to be sure that the scanned object is firmly placed and immovable.

No! Its actually fairly thin and doesn't really add too much thickness. I'm not using a sleeve though, so I cannot offer much there, but all in all, it's fairly thin.

There's a notch for the sleeve. I've never tried to take it off... But I think it would be difficult actually.

I don't see why not! As long as its on paper that you can scan it through, it shouldn't be a problem. I haven't tried that, but I don't see why you can't.

No. It is all manual and you must move each shot under the scanner opening to scan it. It is easy and works very well though.

No, the machine will not fit in that sleeve. See http://amzn.to/LfQc1V for the dimensions of the machine.

Yes, or you can fold back half of the back and apply the finger to the scanner.

No. I had a special sleeve that insulates the cold temp. Does that help you out?
