Hi, The flat bed is 4x6 inches. The cover is removable, and you can create overlapping scans. The output dimensions are 1200x1800, and the size is at least 1 mega pixel. The memory is also very good. My wife has scanned 225 photos and the memory is only 1/4 full.

The Doxie can be set for 300 dpi or 600 dpi. It's bed is 4" x 6", so you can put most snapshots on the bed and put down the cover to hold in place. The door is also removable so you can hold it up to a picture or document hanging on the wall for instance. For pictures bigger than 4x6, there is a feature where you can stitch multiple scans together, but I have not used it. My opinion is that if you have things bigger than snapshots...scan them on a conventional scanner. The cool thing about the Doxie is the portability and convenience. You can take that box of pictures that's sitting in the closet and get them in the computer in quick order. The Doxie can be set for 300 dpi or 600 dpi.

Only the Epson company can answer a question like that. I would suggest calling the maker first. If you know what I think about the product, it was wonderful. I have had two now. Just wore one out after many years. I much prefer a flat bed scanner.

The optical resolution is 5300 dpi. It is up to you to select the dpi, as a 6x9 cm film would demand a very fast computer to handle the large scanned file size!

I would not describe this scanner as portable. In fact, no flatbed scanners are really considered portable. The Epson WorkForce DS-30 could be a solid portable option, assuming you can use sheet-fed. If you're scanning books and need flatbed though, I'd try to find one that can possibly get its power via the MacBook Pro, rather than also needing its own power supply, for portability's sake.

I bought this printer - it's six inch's and I'm very, very happy with it. I would recommend it if you want a simple printer and scanner. This is a very user friendly printer. Love mine!

The Scan window is only about 6.5 by 8 inches. You can use the Software to stitch multiple overlapping scans. The Flip is more suited for medium size photos. You probably should go for the Doxie Go for the sizes you want.I purchased the Doxie Go Wifi a little after buying the Flip. I like both scanners but the Doxie Go is better for larger scans.

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.

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.

I use it for fine art scanning. It works great. But you have to open the scanning toolbox and set the scanning PPI to 600. Then you get a really, really good quality scan.

It will scan any flat paper up to 8 X 11". I have scanned newspaper and magazine pages.

No, that is probably the only drawback I have found. A letter width (8.5) is the widest it will scan.

JonW - To be honest, I never ended up making the purchase due to the fact that my wife gave birth to our first children, twins...and my "spare" time has all but vanished, at least for the last year. I will always have the need though so I appreciate F. Rush's insights, they are helpful as I do intend to purchase a scanner in the future. I have had my eyes on the 9000f since its release and if I were making this purchase right now that is likely the direction I would go. I wish you luck in deciding and please keep me updated with your choice and feedback.

My mgr elected not to use the scanner so I can't answer your question. Sorry. Other than that, it's been a very reliable and fairly easy to use machine so far. Regards, Ric

For best possible resolution and quality I would personally use a flatbed. This is for business use and is good but there is better out there for photo quality scans. It will do a very good job though and is speed is important it would not be a bad way to go.

Very reasonable size. Awesome scanner. We use it every day. Not large files. 10 or 20 pages under 1 mb

A4 is slightly narrower and longer than 8.5 x 11 paper. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_(paper_size)). The scanner is drawn manually across the page. Longer is longer. Unit works very well. Good resolution if you're steady with it. I also Recommend the scanning stand: VuPoint Table Top Scanning Stand for Magic Wand Portable Scanner well worth the extra dollars. for the office, I'd recommend a flat bed scanner. For travel, this thing is perfect.

Yes, I have an 6500. The scansnap is very quick and very easy to use. It quickly makers a PDF file ans scans the front and back of your sheet. I use one at work and have the larger scansnap at home. I can't say enough good things about this product
