🖥️ Plustek PS186 Desktop Document Scanner with Auto Document Feeder (ADF) - Compatible with Windows 7, 8, and 10 Review

If you've taken the time to make the right settings for your needs, you'll be surprised. The quality of the scanned image is high, it takes up little space, but it is very well made, it scans both sides at the same time, it can ignore blank pages and automatically crop the scanned document in different sizes. If you are on a budget, this scanner will suit you

This scanner helps me tidy up my desk. Documents and paper clips have been sitting on my desk for a long time and I have a hard time finding the right documents at the right time. So I got this scanner for a very good price to digitize my documents. Installation Installation is easy. The scanning software already comes with preset scan profiles that users can scan. I can also set up the scan profiles I want. I mainly use this device to scan documents into searchable PDFs. The overall OCR…

Small, fast and efficient device for the office on a budget. It helps my elementary school administration office a lot to do a lot of paperwork. Thousands of student files previously stored in filing cabinets are now being scanned and digitally stored with the Plustek PS 186 Speed Document Scanner. This helps our office reduce storage requirements and organize past student data/recordings for easy access. I bought this device in the first week of January 2018 and I have absolutely no regrets. I

I bought this scanner just because of the price but now I've found that this scanner can do a lot of things well beyond its price. At first I only use it to scan important emails from old friends. Then I start scanning receipts, shipping labels and work papers. I'm a columnist so I have a lot of magazine articles that need to be revised and digitized and the scanner is really helping me. Now I can search and organize materials by keywords. In addition, the software interface is understandable…

I have to say this is a pretty neat and efficient little machine! I have a home business and have storage boxes full of bills and receipts that I need to keep for at least 7 years. Now I have everything stored online and in the cloud. I LOVE IT! It scans very quickly and takes up very little space in my office. It scans in color (I read another comment that it doesn't scan in color). You just have to remember to create a new scan setup and adjust all the settings. The software is very easy to…

The installation required more steps than described in the documentation, so it took about 30 minutes to install the drivers and software to get the scanner working and the scan results satisfactory. I mainly used it for photos, but it works better with documents. Photos are twisted strangely on output even though the scanner doesn't twist them. Contrast is poor (very dark) even at the best quality. And about 5% of the images are cut off, sometimes it seems that the image is dark and it is…

So I bought this for my office, we needed a scanner to scan documents. Looking around we have several ScanSnap scanners but it's half the price and I think it has more features. Honestly this would be 5 stars barring one small issue. This is very fast when scanning to a local computer, but I wanted to use it to scan to network folders for different employees who use a different 1-click scanning profile. So you can go there and scan directly to a network folder on your local computer. The…

My computer crashed and Nit thought they wanted $7 a month so I could download and use their software which I already bought and paid for. NO WAY EVERYONE STAY OUT NEET so I bought this Plustek PS186. I bought a refurbished one. It had no diskettes, no instructions, no calibration paper, which they say is necessary, but I didn't. I found the company's website and downloaded their software. (Free, unlike Neet) Had a lot of trouble getting it to work because they have so many download options and

I had a smaller Fuji document scanner that worked fine until it started jamming. Almost two years later it's time for a new one. I chose Plustek because of the reviews. I don't know what your needs are, but I have business matters. I need to scan low res photos from the 70's-90's to register with the copyright office. Much faster than scanning my negatives and slides. My Fuji was acceptable in this regard. The resolution is not high enough to produce a salable copy that is acceptable for…
