Review on Visioneer SXP1001-DB Strobe XP 100 Mobile 600 DPI Scanner with USB and One Touch Technology by Nick Tucker

I bought this scanner to go paperless with all but the most important documents. With this product in combination with PaperPort 9.0 Deluxe, I achieved this goal faster than with a conventional scanner. This enabled me to scan and shred thousands of documents - a welcome organizational relief. The model takes up very little space and I can scan my documents in seconds. I like that I can scan receipts and small sheets, which would be a problem for a good sheetfed scanner. Generally, my documents come out straight and scanned quickly at high quality at 200 dpi in grayscale. Having said that, I would like to add that installing the product driver was quite cumbersome and inconvenient, which is a bit difficult for a user with 15 years of PC experience. Another major complaint I have about this product is that it cannot scan the last 1/2 inch of a scanned page. This means that sometimes I need to scan a document both ways when dealing with documents that contain text on the last 1/2 inch. Pages. Another downside is that the product is incredibly expensive for what it is. I think a price of $100 would be more reasonable than a retail price of $200.
