Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this several weeks now and am SERIOUSLY impressed.
I've scanned about 2500 pages of old bank statements, medical records, bills, etc. and it has performed better than I expected. I read reviews on this site and others that gave it glowing praise. I expected something that worked OK. It is better than that by a long, long way!
After scanning all these documents I've had maybe 6 or 8 misfeeds. I caught those quickly and rescanned with no problems the second time through. And this is with documents that were up to 30 years old. I think that is amazing.
Some people have complained (at least on other sites) that the settings were hard to change. I disagree! Right click the icon in the system tray. Choose the "Scan Button Settings" and then change them in two clicks. Could it be much easier? And, if you want to change them for just one document, many settings are in that same menu.
While I purchased the version that includes the full version of Rack2-Filer, I haven't installed it yet. I'm not sure if I need it because I have been naming my files and placing them in folders in such a way that I don't have a problem finding and identifying them. I might place my copy on eBay instead. So, you might want to buy the slightly less expensive version of this scanner.
As many have said, this is not a general purpose scanner. But, I'm glad I purchased this scanner for the purpose of going "Paperless". It has and will help with that task.
Update 12 Jan 2009 - It's now been 7 months on my desk and I STILL think this is the one of the best electronic gadgets I have ever purchased! Works just as it should with no issues.
