If you need to scan a lot of images and are frustrated with scanners you’ve used in the past, then the 8800F is for you.

This is a flatbed scanner that handles documents up to 8.5 x 11 or A4 size (international). As is becoming increasingly common the manual is only available on-line, but you are provided with a short “Quick Start Guide.” This one actually has enough information to get the scanner running with no problems.   Connection to the computer is via USB port (cable provided). There is a 2-piece power cord which will allow about 8 feet of distance to an outlet. The USB cord is only 4 feet long.

There are three film guides provided. These allow you to scan, in addition to documents, 35 mm slides, negative strips, and large format (old 120 size) film negatives. To use these you snap out a backing piece on the scanner lid, and snap one of the guides onto the flatbed.

This scanner comes bundled with software and features that make it very easy to use.    It has customizable settings that can be saved as custom scan settings.   The 8800F scanner has many great capabilities.
