I had major installation problems as my virus checker thought the installation program was malware and had to get a friend to look into it for me. However, it took a long time to get it set up. It is a beautiful little bit of kit and it does the job I want it to do.

I've wanted this scanner for a while and when it was on sale I swooped in the buy it. It is a little wider than A4 at about 29cm in width, 8cm high and 10cm deep without its leads so any case would need to be sizeable.Ī very usable machine that needs minimal desktop space.

A printed safety guide is included but not the product manual (one of the PDFs) which would have ben more useful.Īlthough the scanner and its leads could be carried within some laptop cases together with a laptop, some may prefer a separate case. However, they were individually saved to my hard drive for ready access whenever needed and more conveniently than having to find and reload the disk.

It is an addable option, as indeed are many others, although few need be used.Ĭuriously, although the DVD includes a facility to read the various hardware and software manuals, the PDF files appear to be well hidden. I was surprised to find thet 'Scan to Email' was not included although it was included in the description a major reason for purchase and in preference to several less expensive alternatives. The ScanSnap Manager is its main interface and manager and it allows scanning to various software and locations, including support for several MS Office applications. The software suite is extensive and includes versions of DropBox and Evernote, both of which came as part of my PC's software suite so did not need additional installation. One of the programs installed is an Updater package and you will probably find that there are updates to be installed.

Its software is DVD-based and both Mac and PC although the applications may differ from one OS to the other. The single button, blue when ready, is used to start and to stop scanning and most of its functioons are controlled by its software suite which must be installed first (with Windows). The paper support needs to be extended one section at a time and the final one lifts and folds out. The machine is simple to operate and will allow up to 10 sheets to be stacked. The scan head and feed assembly can be released and raised to clear any misfeeds and for cleaning - a kit for which can be purchased. Its scan path is slightly bent at about 120 degrees and is safe for most documents if not on very thick paper and photographs.

It is auto-feed only and there is no ability to scan a book or magazine page in situ. The scanner is USB 2.0 and does not have a Wi-Fi option. There are two power options, via USB or mains adapter and both ultimately plug into the same socket. This is a one-button device it does not even have a power switch but powers ip when the lid and feed support is opened. It can scan in colour or mono and at various resolutions and has an adjustable paper guide that will allow A4 and smaller (also a little wider).

This is a serious piece of kit, substantial in itself and weighty - it should not be confused with the several toy-like hand-held devices sometimes available.
