Good compact scanner

Works pretty good in on the go environment. I'm definitely glad I brought it. The only problem is it will grab multiple papers at once but like I said I don't use it at my desk, it's for on the go job and saves time from running back to office all the time.
I purchased this scanner over a year ago for my business. After several months, ordered a second one. The main reasons I picked this scanner: ability to scan both sides, in color, and is wireless. There are many options for scanning the quality & type you want - and very easy to change all the scan options on your screen. It's easy to setup multiple specific workflow settings (1 sided, pdf black & white; 2 sided color, pdf or jpeg, etc.) to quickly change types of common scan jobs. Can scan multiple pages quickly, usually use 300 dpi. You can view all the pages on the screen, can rotate images, add or delete pages before naming & saving. I purchased an external hard drive to save all my scanned images of receipts, etc. so the small drive can be stored later for reference without worrying about the storage space on the computer.
The feeder mechanism quite often pulls more than one sheet. Also, things don’t always scan straight- they are a bit cocked over to one side or the other. I love how you can add more pages to a scan and I love how you can put each scan in its proper folder.
The scanner is useful, but not easy to use. The accompanying instructions are inadequate and incomplete, so the user porcess is one of regrettable disovery of features and a lot of tinkering. So it is much less immediately useful than it could be.
