    Who the hell still scans documents with a multifunction printer. There are multiple apps on your phone that do that a lot better!

      People who actually scan more than one page per year.

      Nothing comes close to a scanner with a sheet feeder for this job.

      On top of what everyone else said, if you’re scanning something like a book, holding it upside-down on a scanner bed and pressing it flat will give you a much better scan than holding it open with your hand right-side up so you can get a phone photo of it.

      Those are okay until you need to scan a stack of papers… then you’ll wish you had a scanner with a feed tray

      Try scanning a ton of documents with your phone instead of a document feeder. It’ll take forever and you’ll probably have to redo a few pages.

      People with essential tremor perhaps? There is ZERO point me trying to scan something with a handheld scanner because it’s a blurred mess every time. Flatbed all the way. Or perhaps a tripod mount for the handheld scanner.
