I'm not sure what this means. All flatbed scanners I've used have a
"moving head", under the glass. Do you mean that this one has a moving
top platform (or platen) and that the sensor remains fixed, while the
top of the scanner/glass move, like older (or cheaper) photocopiers?
That would mean you need a LOT more space to work with this unit! And
yes, it would be a disaster making sure your oversized prints or negs
don't get dragged or crushed while it is moving the scanning surface.
