Review: True to its Features - I have no issues with the use of
the Scanner. I would like to see a setting to scan photos.
However, maybe I am not finding the way to scan photos in a
higher dpi. For documents and standard size paper it works very
well. For the receipts, it sometimes fails to scan without going
off to the side as it is being feed into the scanner. Resulting
in the final scan not straight or skewed a little. However, this
is a nice product and I own various Epson products and this one
does not fail. Especially for a portable scanner. The WiFi
capability is also a nice plus. I have not used this feature too
much to give a full review. But it does work.
Review: Small, but awesome - My wife is retiring from the Navy
after 20 years, and she asked me to scan her medical records into
files that can be sent to the VA. I have a scanner built into our
printer at home, but if I had to toss a guess out, I would say
each page on that thing would be about 20-25 seconds to scan. She
has 5 volumes of medical records... That's not happening. I'd
considered contracting out this work as there are companies that
will take the medical records, scan and index them, but I decided
this scanner should work and provided at least some of the
features the contract company was offering. The software is
pretty easy to set up, and it's not difficult at all to get it
connected to a wireless network. I admittedly don't know if it
would work without being connected to my PC, but as I was doing A
LOT of scanning I kept it hooked up to keep the battery charged.
So far, I've scanned about 3/5 of her records, which took me
about 4 hours. I'm very happy with the quality of the scans, and
the software which allows saving the pages as searchable PDF
files. I think my only gripe would be that once you save all the
files, the page with all the scans closes. I'm not sure if those
scans are saved on my PC anywhere, and haven't really had the
time to dig into it (for instance, if I wanted to go back and
save parts of volumes without having to rescan the pages). It's
something I will look into. I also scanned a few long receipts,
as that's a future use I wanted the scanner for, and it worked
well enough. It's a little difficult to keep them feeding
straight if they're REALLY long, but it's not a deal breaker.
Pros: Ease of use, good software, very fast when compared to a
traditional scanner you'd find on a household all-in-one printer.
Cons: Not exactly sure if scans are saved individually, and the
charge did run down to half even while hooked to my PC during
scanning. But I was doing A LOT of scanning over and over again,
so probably wouldn't be an issue except for VERY heavy use.
Overall very satisfied with the scanner.
