Excellent product . . .by portland_houses - September 20, 2011
Pros: We have had this scanner for several years. It does a great job of scanning, it is portable, so we can use it at home and on appointments - we've used it to scan entire real estate agreements and e-mailed them to our clients at signing, which eliminates t
Cons: The only thing I haven't been able to figure out how to do is to scan an item to a slightly smaller scale. Sometimes items which are printed nearly to the edge are difficult - some items at the edge are missed.
Review: Excellent product, and very affordable - for the independent professional who isn't a member of a large office with a huge copier/scanner, this is a wonderful alternative. If you couple this with a good scan-to-fax service such as TrustFax (not a promotion, just an example - I'm sure there are other excellent scan-to-fax services), you also have a fax.

EZ to Install & Use - Great Priceby *LB* - February 24, 2008
Pros: Install & Scan in 5 minutes
Cons: jpg & pdf formats only - but adequate
Review: My first purchase was the OVER-hyped NeatReceipts 3.0 and it was Garbage - never got it to work. NEXT try was this great, simple, small and effective Pentax DSmobile 600 - at half the NR 3.0 price. This worked smoothly right out of the box. I will recommend that others in my dept. follow suit and buy this DSmobile 600, as well.
