what is the maximum span you can scan with this machine?

The largest size is 8.5 X 14-inches. There are two modes, one that's basically machine controlled (Home) and one that lets you vary the resolution, contrast, brightness, format, quality and compression (Advanced).

It will scan 8.5"X14" and shrink it to 8.5"X11". An excellent scanner for the money.

I have never actually scanned anything exactly this size, but the screen opening measures just under 12" x 17" so it should scan any image close to that width or length. Good luck!

No. It can't even scan 8.5" x 14" legal documents. However, with photoshop you could scan it in sections and past it together.

This should NOT be possible for at least two reasons. First, the scanner's sensors/software would consider an envelope to be a "double sheet feed", flag it as an error condition and terminate the scan. Second, the stated maximum paper thickness/weight the scanner can accept is 20 pound. The envelope itself, let alone a stuffed one will likely exceed that thickness.

I'm sorry but I don't have any scanning capabilities so I couldn't say. Good luck in your quest.

Very, very well. The largest document I have scanned is approximately 20 pages. The scanner scans doublesided through the ADF which is a huge win for me as most of my work is double sided. This scanner is a workhorse and I am very pleased with it for the price.

Perhaps 10 using premium paper. If you load too many, it jams. I need to scan white premium paper containing photos and load 10 at a time to prevent jams. Then I load 10 more using the "add pages" button. It works but is not as efficient as our high volume scanner at the office. The HP costs a third of the price and does a nice job for these small at home projects. I would not use it for a business requiring high volume scanning.

You can't (unless the things you want to scan all fit on the scanner at once). HP might have a document loadder that you could buy as an add on.

No, it can't. I've got mine here, and it is not 11 inches wide, only a little more than 8 1/2" wide. It can scan long pages, longer than 11 inches, but I've not found a way to do wider than the machine.

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

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.

A normal 8 1/2 x 11. You are limited in width but not length. Just change the orientation of your scanner.

17x12 is the largest book you can scan in one scan, but if each page is 17 inches wide, that would equal a total of 24 inches. So, yes, you can scan one page at a time, instead of two pages at a time, if that's how your book is. Hope that helps.

The scan bar is only about 8" wide. You can scan longer than 11", but you might have a problem viewing it afterwards. I recommend scanning by sections anything larger than 8 1/2 by 11.

it depends on the resolution you set the scanner at: a 300dpi color image, 3"x3" would be about 4-5 Mb
