The scanner is as simple as it can get. I just have to flip my document upside down & inside out. Then push the scan button. The PDF is in the folder so I can rename & move it to where I need it to be. I scanned a paper smaller than A1 & it works out well. It's just side ways so not much problem. I haven't scanned a thicker paper / things like ID or credit card.
The only sad part is that it can't connect to a non-USB computer. I just have to use an adapter but I haven't tried it yet. Hope it works!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to use

Purchased the scanner on the advice of family who have a similar one. It is very easy to set up, including the software. The software makes it easy to set "rules" so you can easily scan and save many different types of documents (one sided, two sided, two sided where you want to rotate the pages, save to folder, save to Evernote, etc.). I was able to easily scan a lot of documents in a short period of time. It folds up into a relatively compact size, easily able to sit on a shelf or desk for when you need it next. My only disappointment was that I thought it was wireless, but that was likely due to me not reading carefully through the product information and not fault of the scanner itself.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works well but a bit cumbersome

This is a very nice machine, especially at this price point. The only downside is that you can't "quickly" scan to pdf. There a lot more steps involved than I would have preferred. With my old Neat scanner I just pressed one button and it was direct to pdf. This takes more steps. Other than that, I think it is a great scanner.

Keeps Disconnecting

Don't understand why I have to re-install software EVERY TIME I use it. WHEN it works, it's great... when it works, but this time, I turned it on and it did not duplex the scan, and when I tried to use again, I got the same "Unable to communicate with the scanner. Make sure the scanner is connected to the computer and turned on. Do you want to check the connection settings?" When it already is connected. I unplug, re-start, shut down, uninstall, re-install, and this time, it will not scan AT ALL!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not as user friendly as my Fujitsu scanner which is a much easier product to use. The software with the DS-410 is not user friendly at all.

Good so far.

Good small scanner. Paper feeds well. Descent image at 600 dpi, 300 not so good, but that's not the scanners fault. I haven't figured out how to get the quick scan button on the unit to process the scan at 600 dpi instead of 300.

Excellent performance and value

Works extremely well for document archival. Scan speed is outstanding. Color rendition and clarity are acceptable for other than very high end photo archival. Unlike some negative reviews, this scanner does not jam, provided the manufacturer's guidelines are adhered to. Documents that have been folded or damaged should be either copied first, or fed one sheet at a time; but this is a general caveat with ANY scanner using an ADF.
