This light pad does not have automatic document size detection. Users must manually adjust the scanning area using the app, which can be time-consuming and less precise.
Simultaneously scans both sides of a document in a single pass. Efficiently digitizes double-sided documents such as contracts and reports. Significantly reduces scanning time.
This light pad does not support double-sided scanning. Since it's designed for slides and negatives, this function is not applicable.
