Good things do come in small packages!
This is such a good little portable scanner. In a world of CamScanner and similar, sometimes people can think “what’s the point of something like this”, but actually it’s such an amazing device, I wanted to go into a little more detail about it.PROS1. It’s lightweight and very portable (more about that below)2. It scans as well as other more expensive high quality scanners3. It can scan duplex (double sided)4. It can scan more than one document at once (believe it or not, it has like a small sheet feeder)CONS1. It’s not a high speed scanner like in an office (but it’s not slow either).USES (as promised)1. We used it in the office to scan everything from A4 to little petrol receipts2. I use it when going to help relatives with scanning important documents – here is the even better part – within the scanner is a small disk drive which will get found when you plug it in to a USB port of someone’s computer. On the drive is software and the drivers to run the scanner, so no need to take discs, download software, search for drivers, take a separate USB etc, it’s all within the scanner.3. It’s robust, and because it’s so simple to use (one button operation) it’s easy for anyone…..however, the software allows you to configure so many options, so when the button is pressed, you are getting exactly what you want and how you want it.I would have given it 5 stars on “Easy to Use”, except it took a little while to realise about the scanner having the internal drive with everything you need on it – once you figure that part out, it’s 5 stars across the board.This is definitely worth the money, and highly recommended.

Would recommend, quiet and a breeze to use
So pleased with this purchase, I’ve only owned this product for a month or so but it’s made the scanning process so much nicer than the scanning process on any multifunction printer. This unit straightens anything scanner, scans both sides and does OCR on the scans so that I can search by content in each file. As soon as I get a letter or a piece of correspondence, I scan it to a pdf and catalogue it then disregard the hard copy. Goodbye to storing any paper for the rest of my life! This product has made going paperless such a breeze. The product also features a 10 page ADF which I rarely need to use, as I scan content as I receive it but makes multiple page letters a breeze to digitize. Noise isn’t so much of an issue with this product and I’d say is atleast half as loud as a normal scanner as it doesn’t need to warm up or move the scanner head, however the wheels that feed the paper through the unit can make some squealing sounds but is fairly quiet and is nothing compared to how much easier it is to scan with this product than normal scanners/printers. Although I’ve never had to use this as it lives in our office, it’s portability is very nice and is plug and play without needing to install any software/drivers (at last!) or give it a power source as it is powered by the USB cable. The software needed for this scanner lives on a USB drive that mounts to your computer when you connect the scanner to your computer. I would consider the wireless kit/optional extra if it wasn’t so expensive.

Brilliant scanner and good price
I unpacked and commenced setting it up today. It took 5 mins. But I posted a community question saying I had Windows 10, it scanned but wouldn’t save the photos. One response said it was a waste of money. Well, I’d like to report that my own stupidity was the reason. I wasn’t fully following the instructions. Once I’d got over the teething problems, I scanned about 150 photos in no time. Easy to pop into files so I’m hoping to complete 7 boxes of photos onto my PC in about another 4 days of scanning. It is so quick at scanning. And senses if a document is double sided so scans back and front just by popping the document in. I could scan multiples of photos – just feed them through one after the other. It’s quiet, efficient and has capability of altering the clarity, brightness etc of images. Also you can rotate the images. I would thoroughly recommend it for sorting all your photos. We have a scanner within our printer but this little one just connects right next to my laptop without me having to leave my desk. Added advantage is because it only needs to connect with my PC I can use it anywhere. A brilliant buy and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Ottimo prodotto ad un prezzo sicuramente accessibile se rapportato a quello degli scanner piani (più economici) e a quello dei compatti verticali da tavolo (molto più costosi). Funziona benissimo, l’ho acquistato ormai da più di un mese e usato numerose volte. Il prodotto è solido, ben costruito e semplice da usare; utilissimo proprio in quelle situazioni di lavoro fuori ufficio o per salvare spazio sulla scrivania. Fornito di custodia morbida (forse un po troppo), può essere riposto tranquillamente nella borsa del portatile e trasportato facilmente. Funziona semplicemente collegando il cavo USB ad una porta del PC o Mac (io lo uso su un MacBook Pro), addirittura ha un tasto switch sul retro che ti permette di farlo riconoscere come periferica di scansione standard, senza la necessità di scaricare ed installare i driver dal sito quando usato sul pc di altre persone. L’installazione standard con software e driver è semplice e funzionale, ti permette di creare dei presets in base a risoluzione, colore, b/n ecc, esportando in qualsiasi formato anche pdf multipagina. Io lo uso principalmente per documenti di testo a colori e b/n ma ho avuto ottimi risultati con immagini e foto alta risoluzione. Le pagine vengono riconosciute da un sensore ottico che fa scendere un fermo meccanico che blocca le pagine al momento dell’inserimento, questo impedisce che la pagina scappi via all’ultimo momento prima di essere scansionata. In definitiva ottimo prodotto che svolge pienamente le funzioni per cui è stato progettato. Consigliato

Le produit donne un très bon résultat. J’ai mis 4 **** parce que à la livraison les vitres du scanner étaient sans doute avec de la poussière et donnait des lignes blanches sur les photos scannées. Il faut les nettoyer avec un produit genre lunettes ou écran et les lignes disparaissent. La qualité des photos scannées est saisissante de qualité.

Perfecto y muy rapido para digitatilizar documentos. Muy comodo dado el escaner de doble cara que solo hay que pasar una vez la hoja y la mini bandeja de 10 hojas. La aplicacion que lleva incorporada, a traves de una unidad que genera el scaner al conectarse es muy simple y efectiva. Perfecto tambien para digitalizar tarjetas de visita, dni, tarjetas de credito u otros documentos.

Ich war auf der Suche nach einem unkomplizierten Duplexscanner für den Papierkram, den man als Privatmensch so hat. Also eben mal was einscannen â ihr kennt das. Und für diesen Zweck ist der Scanner optimal. Auch, um mal schnell ein Bild einzuscannen, leistet er gute Dienste. Wer beruflich unterwegs ist und bei Terminen Unterlagen einscannen möchte, ist ebenso gut beraten. Tipp: Das Kabel hat zum Anschluss am PC/Mac nur einen USB-A-Stecker. Also am besten gleich einen entsprechenden Adapter für USB-C mitbestellen.
