8. Yes, I used to have that feature on a previous printer/scanner a decade ago...I think it was a Canon

Pixma. Actually it was able to make a good attempt at identifying multiple photos on the scanner glass at the same time.

So you would scan once, the machine would hold that one scan in memory and through the Edit function you could extract each photo from the one scan, which makes the whole scanning process so much faster.

For example, I have 5 of varying sizes on the scanner glass right now, and I have scanned the glass at 600 dpi, but each time i have to press Scan, it takes about 45 seconds to do the scan, so that 5 x 45 seconds, plus the Edit time. I have the best part of 1000 photos to scan, so it adds up, and that's the bit i miss.

If i increased the dpi to the max of 1200, it would obviously be a whole lot worse.
