Scanner help

Advise what scanner can take several postcards in one go and be separated to individual pictures so I can download them separately to eBay site. Cheers Richard

Scan the whole selection and separate them on your computer.

Scan, duplicate scan 3 times and crop duplicates is what I do keep original scan as backup.

Probably faster to simply scan one at a time.  Place card onto scanner and press scan it autosaves.. repeat..

Each card is already its own file ready to be used.

Otherwise its place several cards on the scanner press scan and save then you need to edit the file later

in a paint program to split them. I think one at a time maybe faster than you think.

In the past I have scanned hundreds of postcards to put on Ebay.  I found doing one at a time was the easiest and quickest because I could fit it to the edge of the scanner and it would be straight. Once you start putting them elsewhere on the scanner they nearly always come out wonky even when you've put in the extra time trying to adjust them. 

A little bit of time spent making sure your scanner is in the most convenient position for putting in/taking out helps as well. The more you scan the more it becomes obvious that this is a help and you can get a nice rhythm going.

I've just bought an Epson V600, it can do what you want.

A bit over the top for photos to go on eBay!

Hardly. It doesn't have a document feeder. The OP wants to scan items en masse.

My Canon LiDe scans and then separates individual items, as long as they fit on the A4 flatbed.  Saved so much time when doing very old family photos. Not exactly 'en masse'  but you don't mention that need.
