Question

the features of flatbed scanner

Answer 1

Reasons to choose a flatbed scanner

1) A flatbed scanner is far more versatile. With a flatbed model, you can scan materials and three-dimensional objects other than paper, such as a piece of fabric or a TV remote control (or even that new tattoo on your arm). Basically, if you've ever made copies of something on a copy machine, you can scan it with a flatbed.
2) A flatbed scanner doesn't cannibalize your material. With a sheet-fed scanner, you can't scan pages from books or magazines unless you tear them out, and don't even think about scanning the surface of your arm for that tattoo. Plus, you don't have to worry about material that's too stiff (such as your driver's license) or too small (such as your driver's license). With a flatbed, material of reasonable thickness and just about any size can be scanned without fear of jamming the mechanism or losing something in the bowels of the machine.
3) A flatbed scanner produces a better scan. With a flatbed scanner, the scanning head moves past the material, a process that's inherently more stable than having the material move past the scanning head (as in a sheet-fed model). This is why just about any flatbed scanner features higher resolution (and often better color depth) than a sheet-fed scanner.

Answer 2

Depending on the model you may be able to without modifications, but the quality will be poorer than from a dedicated scanner. If your purpose is to archive the negatives digitally I would suggest renting a film scanner from a pro photo supply. Hopefully the scanner will have digital dust removal, although that is usaully only available when scanning color negatives. Some people scan B&W negs as color slides - maybe this will help? Having a cheap minilab archive your memories is OK if that is your only option and you don't plan on printing large images from the small files. You get what you pay for whatever option you choose.

Answer 3

You have more control over the object that you are scanning with a flatbed scanner, in that you can position it how you like on the glass. You can also scan multiple documents of varying sizes at one time.

Answer 4

A flat bed scanner will allow you to scan pictures, pages out of a book and perhaps you can scan slides and negatives. Flat bed scanners are generally inexpensive. You can get a nice Epson model for roughly $100 or so. Some scanners do color restoration and you can do OCR which is great when you need to change the words in a document.

Answer 5

I very seldom use a Printer anymore. I can email most Documents and Scan pictures (Hard Copies) and forms. To me the Scanner makes Faxing obsolete and paper getting to be the same.

Answer 6

I wouldn't buy a scanner and printer combined. If it breaks you're out of both.

Answer 7

Save papers, keep files in pc,

Answer 8

scanning full page documents all at once . Thats it ,Thats all
