Does this scanner scan multiple page documents well?

Yes. You have to do each page one by one, but after the first page it will ask "Save or add a page?", and does the same for the next page, etc til you've scanned all the pages. When you're finished, you can save as a single, multi-page doc.

It has a hinge at the back that allows the lid of the screener to rise up for thicker items to be screened. I love this scanner but I use it for scanning photo's and mostly smaller documents that are only 2 - 4 pages and in these instances I've usually just unstapled them and scanned them one by one but I didn't have to. It also scans photo slides really well (we had some from many years ago) and it also brightens up old yellowed photos and makes them look much newer.

Yes and no. It isn't a true document scanner so you are manually scanning each and every page. The main point of interest is the optical character application (Adobe's ABBYY FineReader Version 9). This converts scanned text to either PDF or Word format. It's not a bad program for pamphlets and pure text documents. However I was hoping to scan a workshop manual for my car - that was a Fail for reasons that have more to do with Word than with FineReader. In short I am now looking for document scanning software because nothing included with the scanner was up to the task I was attempting.

I'm sorry - I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know. But I really thought the scanner did a good job and was exactly what I wanted. Hope someone else can answer your question.

I haven't tried that with the scanner, but I would assume so. There are also plenty of freeware out there that allows you to combine multiple images into one pdf document, etc

Yes, this scanner makes it easy to scan such things from books. However, remember the highest resolution you get is 600DPI. If that's adequate then you'd love the portability of this device.

yes it does a nice job. the only issue with the scanner is that there is no one touch scan button and you cant seem to save multi page docs as one pdf

No, you can't scan several pages as one doc, but PDF pages can be merged into one file.

No...the scanning area is set for letter-size paper. I scan a lot of larger documents by scanning in sections and then using PhotoShop to 'cut & paste' them together into one document. We use three of these scanners at my office, and they have proven their worth.

Not sure. It's not exactly fast, but I suppose that's subjective in comparison to other scanners. I'm no expert, but would estimate possibly 5-10 seconds a page.

Yes! The scanner works best with documents, books, text of any kind. Easiest printer to setup that I've ever used.

No you cannot scan multiple pages into one file like a continuos scan like you have in most new model printers.

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.

No - unfortunately, which was really my only complaint. My old scanner would pre-scan several photos at the same time then select just one at a time to scan. This one won't let you. If you scan multi photos at once you have to crop the scan into single photos on the back end which reduces the file sizes for the individual photos.

I have only scanned less than a hundred and it has done a good job. It is a slow process so good luck scanning thousands of pictures.

You can scan multiple pages to a single file or multiple files. It's perfect for my home and small business office.

It can scan and save multiple pages but you have to feed each page individually

Yes, it will accept multiple page scans, but need to feed each page individually.

It seems, from my use of the scanner, that this'd work just fine, though you'd have to attend the scan or else check the file to ensure that all pages were inclued (the scanner occasionally grabs more than one page at once). Not to state the obvious, but try it first with a book you can replace easily :-) Also, note the advice from the poster before me (don't get binding glue/debris in the scanner).
