Q: 1. Does this scanner work well for legal documents? Also, does it scan letter sized documents that are single paged? Thanks.

A: No, the Plustek OpticBook 3800L Scanner would not be a good option for scanning legal sized documents. This scanner has a scanning bed of 8.5 x 11.7" which is smaller than legal sized documents.

Q: 2. Some of our old photos have "melded" with the plastic album overlays. If I cut the photos out of the album with a layer of plastic, can I calibrate the scanner for a thicker size?(thicker than a photo)

A: Since it would be hard to measure the thickness of the photo plus the plastic, it would probably be better to use a flatbed scanner that has dust and scratch correction software sure as this Epson: https://bhpho.to/3KIHwQ6
