DOes it flip pages automatically while scanning or one has to physically flip each page of the book?

It's entirely manual. You open the book and place it on the glass. The advantage of this scanner, for book scanning, is that the glass is very close to the front edge. This allows you to scan more of a page (usually the whole page) almost all the way up to the binding at the front edge of the scanner.

You will physically flip each page of the book. It goes pretty quick. I've found I can scan about 100 pages in an hour. The software has a feature that alternates every other scanned page 180 degrees. This way, your document is right side up through out once you're done scanning, even though you are rotating your book 180 degrees with each page turn.

It does have a document feeder, not sure how many pages it will handle at one time. Not related to scanning, I do have problems with the paper feed feeding multiple (sometimes up to five pages at a time) when printing though, this is very problematic if you have a limited amount of paper (ie, specialty paper).

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, yes it does. You just put the document stack in the feeder on top and it will pull them one at a time to be scanned. The alignment of the documents can be a little troublesome at times, but nothing unworkable.

I've just used it for slide scanning, and it's a manual, one at a time operation, but it goes remarkably fast. I literally had hundreds of slides and I was surprised at how quickly I was able to scan them once I got in a rhythm.

Jim,Annoying for sure. However, Pages does readily read/convert Word documents. So simply save your scan as a .doc or .docx and ask Pages to open the Existing Document. Once open you can edit as needed and save it as a Pages document if you want. Hope this is helpful.T

With the portable scanner, it's one page at a time. I don't know about the desktop scanner. I believe it's multiple pages.

Well, yes and no. It does not do double side automatically, you have to manually print first one side, then the other. For a multi-page document, do the following: 1. print even pages, reverse order 2. rotate the output pages 180 degrees, don't flip, insert back in the paper tray 3. print odd pages only, regular order (un-check "reverse") The document should come out correctly ordered, first page on top.

Yes it does the whole page, you might have to move it up a little when you get to bottom of page but not always. It depends on the size of print that is actually on the page. I have found it very useful with everything I read and I read anywhere from 2 to 3 books a week. Well worth the money.

Yes it does -- the automatic document feeder is inconsistent - and often needs to be reset multiple times. Other than this it is a great scanner for the price.

Yes. The cover is removable so that pages in books may be more easily scanned. The only limit is the size of the picture being scanned if the objective is to capture the image in a single scan.

Basically, it's a fancy way of saying it only scans one side at a time and you have to re-insert it manually to do the second side. As the other answer correctly noted, the scanner offers software that will match up side 1 and side 2 scan to arrange pages in order automatically, so you don't have to sit at the computer manually inserting page 2, 4, etc.

If you're asking if it can scan both sides of a page simultaneously, the answer is no. It can only scan one side at a time. You must turn the page you want to scan over in order to scan that side too. There is free software that you can download from the internet that will allow you to bind multiple pages into one document with as many pages as you need. I hope this answers your question.

I have had no problems with scanning. You can preselect paper size on the computer driver before you select scan and it will scan the whole document.

Yes. After scaning of the first page the program asks do you want to scan the second page, then you save all work into one file.

No. You will have to manually straighten any paper(s) before you can do the scanning.
