Scans to USB thumb drives. Good OCR performance. Good feature set for a moderately priced desktop scanner.

Somewhat slow for its rated speed, particularly at default settings. More misfeeds than usual for a desktop scanner.

Easy installation of software. Solid up-time for network resource. Great image quality and fast scanning.

If the host computer is off it wont work so I installed in on a server instead of client computer. The software has a monster footprint.

has been working 5 days a week for more than 2 years w/o problems. software (paperport) enough for my needs, will order another soon.

will have problems scanning a large amount of documents like > 20.

This machine is faster than my larger fujitsu 4530C and the quality is just as good. I've had it for over a year now. There have been no maintenance issues whatsoever. It has a small footprint and is cheaper than the ScanSnap.

The only con is that it does not take as many pages as advertised in the ADF without jamming, but then I've never seen any product with an ADF do so.

Scans, and keeps on scanning.

Included software is cr@p. Does not remove staples.

I've purchased two of these scanners now, the first was gifted due to the awesomeness of it's scan-ability. It easily scans legal, double-sided (in a single pass), color, etc, and does so quickly. I'm the type who scans document I get, receipts, etc,...

The software included is junk, and does a poor job with larger files. Do yourself a favor and find yourself Acrobat.

Fast scanning. Easy setup. Good quality for most things.

Extremely noisy. Not built very well. Very poor at scanning faint documents.

Twain, WIA, Isis and more drivers. Scan to USB, mobile device. $100 price difference from others in its class.

Software is weak, crashed in Lion. Real price could be more with better software.

Nothing

Bulky; multi fees every 20 pages or so; makes extremely large file sized scans
