I'm not an attorney, & don't REALLY know, but:

Does anybody know if this this manual is still published under an active copyright ?

If so, scanning & distributing a digital file no doubt would be a copyright violation, which is a serious matter.

If not, it should be "legal," I'd think. Would need a for-real attorney's opinion.

I don't have a copy of this manual, nor do I know where these manuals are purchased from, but if these are "out of print & out of copyright," & somebody is just photocopying an old one, re-binding & then selling them without having a copyright, then scanning one should be legal, I'd think. That's "I think." I don't "know."

I have access to a high speed sheet feeder scanner that can directly write a scan into a digital pdf file ...........

I'm not offering to, nor wanting / seeking to perform an illegal act, but I could scan a manual for free, & post it, if it really was legal to do so.

I'd have to KNOW it was legal, first.
