Scanner: Does this model have a flat bed scanner?

Yes it has a scanner! That is why I chose this model. It is flatbed, though smaller than, say, legal size paper. However it has the ability, with special holders and a backlight, to scan negatives and slides! I have uploaded two images I have scanned with this thing: One is from a B/W negative, the other is a hand tinted B/W photo. I must say I am extremely pleased. I haven't tried to scan text yet, but my nephew's drawings scanned beautifully and are larger than life on the highest resolution.

Yes, absolutely. It has a flatbed scanner that works very well. You can also use the document feeder to scan or copy.

It does not have a scanner that I am aware of. If it does have a scanning feature I have not discovered it.

Yes it does. You just need to be sure they are analog and not digital. This scanner will only receive analog broadcasts. You can find out by checking at radioreference.com in their database.

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.

No. But it has been great with scanning photos. I love this scanner - it is quick, easy to use and fun!

No. The scans are low-quality. It doesn't even do a decent job with print. The color is not accurate in scanning or in printing. Go with a different model.

I bought the P-208 because I needed a scanner that I could take with me on the airplane while out of the country. It seems to work quite well the little that I have used it. A flat bed would be better if you are intending to do a lot of scanning.

Does it allow you to scan documents to an PDF file? I work as an inspector for a utility company and need a scanner to convert docs to PDF files to send to Project Manager from my home office. I used a flat bed scanner at Kinko's and was going to purchase an Epson V500 until I saw this all in one. Which one? Thanks.

I wish I could answer your question, unfortunately the scanner hasn't worked so I am not using it.

Yes. There are other formats to which your can select your scanned image to as weell The set up of the scanning drivers and scanner management program did not load correctly from the disk , thus requiring technical call and assistance. Tech Assist was great, responsive, on point and quick. I was up and scanning in minutes after opening the box. The scanner is blazing fast and accurate. We are quite please thus far.

It does NOT scan in duplex from the flatbed glass. I doubt any scanner does. That would require a 2nd scanner in the folding lid. However, it works great for thick items. There IS hinge flexibility for books, etc. It looks like the hinges flex about 1". And you can always leave it open, like a copier.

Yes it does. The document feeder is duplex, as is the printer. You can scan or print full duplex.

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.

No, mine uses far language to update and so far I have not found a program to change it to one I can update with. The scanner itself works so far but it looks different than other scanners with the same model. Name.

Yes. It's a pretty standard scanner, so it has a large bed that can accommodate large negatives. It comes with several adapters that lay on the bed and are specific to 35mm and other sizes. On larger negatives, I place them directly on the bed without adapters and get good results.

No, it only scans on the top, flatbed feeder. I have a Fujitsu Scansnap that does an excellent job of continuous feed scanning.
