Best Product in its class.

I bought this to scan scrapbooks and newspaper articles. It does the job pretty much out of the box. Once I get the hang of it I think I’ll be able to do really cool things. If my scrapbooks didn’t have stuff folded and one thing on top of the other, I could scan a few pages per minute and be done with each scrapbook in like half an hour.
It doesn’t quite do a large enough area for a full newspaper page; and it technically only does A3 which I gather is just slightly smaller than 11″x17″. But so far I’ve been able to scan all my 11×17 stuff and with a little cutting and rearranging, the newspaper articles I want to save.
For the ameteur like me, the quality is good – the text is all legible, the colors good, and the pictures enjoyable – no distracting artifacts. I have had a little trouble with books where the pages curve, and sometimes the bottom seems a tad fainter than the top of some pages, but not often. Mostly the quality is great.
So far, I’m scanning at the highest resolution, sometimes both jpeg and pdf. Not because I need it, but because I’m unsure what I’ll need later to edit images and text.
Like other reviewers, I’ve found that putting a piece of glass on top of what I’m scanning, to help flatten it out, helps. But unlike other reviewers, I found the ceiling light reflects off the glass.
CONCLUSION: my goal of digitizing scrapbooks for my own use, to preserve family memories, with what I think is pretty darned good quality, is being met. At a speed many times faster than a sheet fed or flat bed, where I’d have to disassemble or roughly handle the scrapbooks. Once I get the hang of this thing, I think I can, most likely, produce better than ameteur quality.

Love this scanner. For things that are suitable for it, it works like a charm.
Basically anything that you can get to lie flat, is a charm to scan with this scanner. For example any print outs, bills, checks, receipts etc. that you haven’t folded, it scans perfectly and fast.
If what you are scanning is folded or crumpled, you need to hold it with fingers, and there is software support to remove fingers later on. Holding with the fingers works as a solution but is less than ideal. You can also use other things, like a ruler to hold down the edges of the paper while it scans. Later on when you save to your computer, just adjust the selection to exclude the ruler. However, if the scans are for your personal archival, or for informal use, then don’t even bother removing the fingers. I have found that for my own digital archiving, I don’t care if the paper that I am scanning is not perfectly flat or if it has creases. I just hold it down and scan away! Perfect for archiving stuff for my own records. Digitizing receipts is so much more easier than having to go through piles of paper every time.
As a scanner it works great for things that can lie flat. And works great for large sizes that normally don’t fit on flatbed scanners. Doesn’t take much desk space at all, and looks very cool. Scanning is as easy as just keeping the paper on black mat, hit the start button and save in the computer, a 5 second job. It works without the black mat also. The black mat just helps it differentiate between the document and the rest of the surface. You can use any other dark cloth or dark table background. Or even if you don’t use a mat at all, it would still work because you can always select what part of the ‘image’ is your document (when finally saving your scans to your computer). The footprint of this scanner on the table is something like 4 inches by 8 inches, almost same like a big pencil box. You just need some space in front of the scanner where you can keep your documents to scan.
I found the accompanying software to be adequate and very much functional. I never tried to install additional software except the scansnap manager, which lets you choose the scan settings (profile settings), and then scan to a file. I don’t need software that organizes my scans etc. The basic scansnap manager lets you scan multi page documents and save them to your computer. That’s all I need and all I care about.

Does fine with material that has no photos, so long as you have the DPI set at 600, With photos, things are washed out. I’ve tried all of the settings, different lighting, etc, still get too many photos with washed out areas.
I also find the workflow is not intuitive and a number of times I lost my scans because I made the wrong reply to a dialog box. I’ve had to resort to a yellow post it note to remind myself of correct responses, because unless you use this all the time, you’ll forget.
I have found myself unable to perform additional corrections and the PDF is ‘finalized’ and I had no idea how I could have avoided that. The whole software package needs to be re-done and made more flexible and intuitive.

I have had this unit for about a week now. Setting it up went quickly but I had to download all of the install software as my computer has no CD drive.
The product is doing what I want – scanning Books of Remembrance written and put together by my wife’s grandfather. The speed is great and the “scan after page turn” feature is very nice. I have scanned books of over 100 pages with no software crashes. I tend to be a learn as I go type instead of reading the manual and in my opinion the settings and use of the device are not strongly intuitive. It took me about an hour of trial and error to get it to do what I wanted.
The software only saves in pdf or jpg which is a HUGE thumbs down. A unit of this price should have a tif option. The flattening of curved pages works OK, but only OK. Luckily I have the ability to remove pages from my projects and scan them flat. For books with non-removable pages your scans will be readable but the appearance will not look perfectly flat.
The quality of the scans is selectable but even at the highest resolution photographs scanned are only of good quality, not excellent or even great. In my opinion this is because of the distance of the scan beam from the source document. Captions written lightly in pencil on the backs of photo were not captured. I’ve had to utilize my HP flat bed scanner to get high quality, high resolution scans of photos (in tif mode so I can have the front and back of the photo in one image file). This unit does a very reasonable job of scanning books but if you want to scan loads of old family photos sitting in shoeboxes…this is DEFINITELY NOT the scanner to choose.
A nice feature is that when you scan multiple pages, the entire scan of the whole surface area is saved until the end. Then, when doing checks and corrections, you have the whole image still available if you want to manually extend the cropping in some areas. When the document is saved it then only saves the image within the cropping square. Once a document is saved you cannot go back to it so there is no way to save something in progress and come back to finish later. Once you start a scan project you should work until it is complete.
The scanning in B&W is just fine but in colour the unit is just OK.
Overall I am able to utilize the product but for the price I am quite disappointed in many of the features and scan results.

The image quality is wonderful and works well for scanning books and documents. The software is nearly perfect when processing documents and photos which lay perfectly flat. The software can struggle when processing books. To remove the page bend, and crop the pages of books the scanner relies on the Scansnap Software. The software generally works well with books, but sometimes gets confused and creates images which look like copier quality copy without correction for page bend or proper cropping of the page edge. The software also sometimes struggles with color magazine pages. When the software cannot find the edge of the magazine page it splits a single page in half with one half of the page on one page and the other on another page.
The software also has difficultly in processing the beginning and ending pages of books. I believe this is caused because the software has a difficult time finding the edges of the pages. Therefore, a larger number of the pages at the front and back of the book look like a copier quality copy without processing. After finishing the last page of your scan you can try to correct those problems with the Scansnap Software. However, the correction settings are confusing. Several times I have spent time scanning a large book or manual, only to find that I tried to fix one page and I mades changes to all pages. These changes cause the scan to be worthless. Once hitting save, you cannot go back and correct the changes. Therefore, I was forced to start over.
Since the scanner relies on software to remove page bend and to crop the page it needs the page to be held as flat as possible. When scanning a book you can put your fingers on the pages and hold the pages while the scan is completed. However, removing images from the scan takes a great deal of time and is clumsy. Instead of going to all of this trouble, I use a heavy piece of metal, a strong flat coin magnet and a white Neodymium Magnetic Push Pin Magnet. I place the metal behind the side of the book which does not want to lay flat. Next I place the coin magnet on the other side of the page opposite the piece of metal. I use the white push pin magnet to hold the page which is being scanned in place. When I turn the pages, I pickup the small push pin magnet and put it on top of the next page. This solution does leave a small imperfection in the scan, but it saves a significant amount of time in later image correction.
The Scansnap works well and is a great scanner. However, it takes a while to understand how to get the best results.
