Evaluation

This document scanner is extremely easy to operate and can be used vertically or flat, hung on an office partition or similar location or placed on a small surface such as a desk. We were impressed by the way the design does away with all the mechanical appearance of a scanner and looks more like a smart paper holder. Scanning features are kept to a minimum, with just the right amount of information about how to use the unit conveyed in an intuitive manner. The careful body design, simple and wonderfully functional, incorporates two handholds that make it easy to take the unit down from the wall and put it back again.
