Works ok when it actually works
on October 29, 2024
Posted by: AITA
This thing is a pain to use. if you put more than one sheet in at a time it feeds two or more at the same time and errors out. So I have to take the paper and lay it out a piece at a time fanned out so it won't grab more than one sheet, but then half the time it tells me there's no paper in the feeder. If I let go of the fanned papers to let them fall into the feeder properly it starts grabbing more than one sheet. I got this to be a time saver, but it takes an eternity to get my scanning done because of all the errors. I absolutely recommend you find something else.

Difficult to use!
on August 26, 2023

This product is so difficult to set up. I have spent nearly 8 hrs trying to connect my google drive to it. With the Epson Receipt Scanners I was set up in a few minutes. I haven't been this frustrated with a product in my life.

I didn't like it. It chewed and skewed by papers. Sent it back and bought refurbished ADS-2800W

Pretty good desktop scanner
on May 4, 2023

from Hoffman Est., IL
Overall, it's pretty good. In feed oftentimes folds corners of smaller items, like receipts; should have better infeed paper guides. When turned on, it takes some time to sync up with the network. Software a little cumbersome. Too many utilities to tweak settings. All in all, after making time investment to wade through all the software settings, pretty good so far. Ask me again in five years.

Perfect portable scanner for letter/legal size doc
on April 24, 2023

I purchased this to bring with me to signing jobs (I'm a mobile notary), as some contractors require scanning signed documents and uploading them to platforms before leaving the signing table. Saves lots of time and effort if they can be reviewed before shipping the hard copies. Works great.

Good scanner but problematic document feeder
on January 15, 2023
Posted by: BAGAYG
from Tucson AZ
Fast scans but MANY problems with ADF. Very good quality scans but document feeder very problematic with more than one page, even as few as 3 or 4 pages frequently "jam" causing frustration.

Great for business
on June 7, 2022
Posted by: gambit202
from San Antonio, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really great scanner. Definitely a business style scanner. Scans at 40ppm, so scans really fast. The screen is large enough to not have a hard time navigating the menus. Set up is really easy and comes with a lot of drivers support. Would definitely recommend for any business that needs to save documents digitally to not take up space.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So it easy my parents can use it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this is easy to setup and use. I've had no issues with the image quality or file types. I've been able to condense down my tax paperwork easily. My parents have even been able to use this to scan their documents.
