A:Answer My Epson Workforce Pro WF-7840 can scan an open book; however, the quality of your scan results will depend upon how flat the book will lay on the glass. For the attached example: I scanned an open book which measured 13.5" across both pages, and 10" high. The book is 1-3/4" thick when closed, so the binding kept it from laying flat. If it were softbound, you'd likely get a better image. The scan bed is 11"x17", which is nice.
