Has anyone used this as a document scanner?

I kinow you can capture an image with the camera and use it like a power point. I never had it hooked up to send images to my computer. So I'm not sure how to do that.

When I used it in Texas, I had it hooked up to my computer. I believe I was able to save things from it. It saves to your computer - you take a "picture" of the document.

It's not a bad unit for its price range. I had it hooked up to a projector and it worked very well. The features and functions on this unit were above average in my opinion.

What you do is use it as a camera and take a picture. I twill save as a jpg. It is useful for larger documents.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and the scanner works well. I also use ReadIris Pro 12 software and it functions correctly.

I have never used it for documents, but because it is stored on a usb flash drive I would have to say yes as to anything you would like to scan through, it also saves to your hard drive.

My mgr elected not to use the scanner so I can't answer your question. Sorry. Other than that, it's been a very reliable and fairly easy to use machine so far. Regards, Ric

It did not work good on any photos. I found that the ScanSnap 300 by Fujitsu works excellent on all... plus it is good for documents.

Hi Andrei. It's pretty quick actually. I never scan more than say 10-15 pages at a time though. The auto feed works great for this too. I actually own 3 of these all-in-ones for various locations.

Yes, I recommend it. I've had four different scanners. This is by far the best, light, multiple resolution settings, color or b/w. I love this one.

I havent figured out how to scan .. I assume there has to be some programming between it and my laptop ... So only use it for printing and copying. Any advice?

yes, it is a decent scanner, USB supported in most applications. You application must have the ability to use the scanned data, basically it is like a keyboard wedge, anything you would normally input via kbd can be scanned.

Yes, absolutely. It has a flatbed scanner that works very well. You can also use the document feeder to scan or copy.

I have only used it for printing letter sized paper. I have not used it to scan or print legal.

I have not yet succeeded how to scan directly, but I believe it can be done... the usb stick works very nicely though...i keep it plugged into the printer all the time, then when i scan something, i just move it over to my iMac and upload it ! that way i have whatever i've scanned backed up on the "stick" and in my computer.

No. The scans are low-quality. It doesn't even do a decent job with print. The color is not accurate in scanning or in printing. Go with a different model.

The one I bought never worked right, it would not feed the document through. I threw it away. And got a thing called cam scanner for my Android phone. It's the only scanner I've needed in 4 years. No need for Windows and it does ocr and allows me to save as pdf so I can do whatever I want with it all from my phone or tablet.

YES & YES and it does a reasonably good job, too. I mainly use the Scan to PDF & JPEG options and have been really pleased with the results. Scanning is slow, but for a portable unit is does many things well and there have to be a few sacrifices for the portability sake. Keep in mind that it runs just fine on battery mode too... just can not go wrong with this unit !!!

I have used it to scan in some photos and they turned out well. I think it would depend upon the type whether you wanted to run them through or not, such as old family photos, etc.
