Hi Cindy.
I have been scanning photographs for restoration also. I have a Xerox all in one (printer, copier, fax machine and scanner.) It does a wonderful job for what it does. But, it is not a flatbed scanner. The problems I find with older pictures, is that the texture of the photo paper does not allow the wheels of the Xerox to grip the photo. This type scanner has to roll the photo through the scanner. Also, some of the papers are much thicker and will not bend to go through this type of scanner. I also have purchased a flatbed scanner for my older photographs. With the flatbed, the photograph does not move so it is much better for fragile photos. It is much slower, but the phtographs are safe. Good Luck, Judy
