Great scanner; easy to use
Great scanner! I had a Scan Snap scanner earlier, so I had some familiarity with how to use a sheet fed scanner. The plustek scanner works beautifully, scanning docs both sides easily and quickly; then saves it a pop-up document where I can select the folder for saving, just as any other document I want to save on my Mac. If I hadn't had the Scan Snap, I might have been a little confused about what the "set up" options were. I selected .pdf (overwriting the default .tiff)because that's what I wanted. I also checked the box to eliminate blank pages, and checked the box for "continuous scanning." I haven't figured out all the button settings yet; you can figure them as you want them. Instead, I just double-clicked the "scan" icon on the left side of the master screen, and away it went. I will use this scanner to scan loads of books I've been carrying around, onto my computer. Yippee! It's also quite a bit cheaper than scan snap. The only problem I had, was with the disk that arrived in the box. My computer wouldn't read it, so I went to their website and downloaded the software directly (the website was referenced on the disk). I found the online quick-start guide helpful. Also, I discovered I needed to turn on the scanner (duh) from the back before it would work. I thought it was ON, because lights were displaying, but it wasn't.

Nice printer for a nice price

Compact & easy to use
Compact, light weight, easy to set up and use. Only issue is with 2-sided docs; you have to load each side & it treats each page as a new doc.
