When trying to figure out how involved scanning a manual page may be, try inserting a piece of 11x17 paper up to the spine of the book. The paper will serve as a guide as to how the document may be scanned, since most scanners are either 8.5 x 11 inches or 11 x 17 inches. By looking through the paper, the person scanning may determine to make one, two, or three attempts to scan a given sheet of paper.
