We purchased this scanner to scan documents in our accounts office, as we wanted something that would scan quickly compared to our Epson printer/scanner. This book scanner scans very quickly and documents are a good quality.It does take some working out exactly how to use the scanner and the videos provided are not that useful in relation to basic set up and operation.You need to make sure that the mat is right up to the scanner or you end up with a scan of the surrounding area and not just the document that you are trying to scan.You can scan using the button on a wire connected to the scanner, or you can use the software on your computer to trigger the scanning.I would recommend this scanner as an easy to use stand alone scanner that takes high quality images of your documents, which are easy to convert to PDF documents and save to your computer.It also comes extremely well packaged and looks very high quality before you have even started to unpack it all!

As someone with autism, I don't learn new things very quickly. There are many features that I have not even explored as yet with this scaner. However, for the components that I have learned about, the device works beautifully, and I am very pleased. Unlike a flatbed scanner, there is no waiting time during scanning. The process is pretty much instantaneous, and is a very clever process. I still have much to learn, but I feel that I have bought a quality product, and I am very happy with it.

Purchased to scan an archive of bound periodicals – predominantly black and white.Product arrived so beautifully packaged with everything clearly labeled, that I was concerned the main production cost had gone into the packaging rather than the product. But I was wrong – the product is also excellent – seems perfect for the job of scanning an archive of nearly 1,000 journals (each 16-32 pages). Set up and first 12 journals scanned within a few hours of delivery.

I bought this to scan over fifty family albums, up to A3 size with approximately fifty pages per book, going back to the 1920's. These contain a lot of photographs, so are shiny, meaning that the overhead light cannot be used due to the reflections that it creates. The indirect light that comes as part of the equipment and mounts on the column has a significant fall off in illumination power from front to back, meaning that images are poorly lit furthest away from the source. There seem to be no software settings that would allow this to be counteracted, so it has been necessary to manipulate each image in Photoshop to regain some of the balance and make these appear more evenly lit. The design would have been better if the secondary lighting had been fitted on arms either side. As the heading for this review says, this is a disappointing piece of kit, especially considering its cost.
