I have not used it a great deal. It does work (I tried it on my lap top), but I mainly use a a 64 bit desktop running XP. The problem is there is no driver for this computer / operating system combination - so I can't use it. Eventually when I change computer, it will probably get used. But this is some time off. Apart from that, it seemed quite simple when I tested it out on my laptop.

On the whole I am happy with my scanner - it was bought as a replacement for a very old version which no longer had software support, so when I upgraded my computer I could no longer run my scanner. However, there are a few niggly things.
With the new scanner I have to be very careful feeding the document in and I need to steady it for a good inch or two for the scanner to keep taking it, otherwise it does not feed through. Also, the slightest obstruction causes the paper to stop feeding or go off line giving a 'stretched' scan, the old scanner just seemed a bit more robust and definite when it took the document from you.
On the plus side, I very much like the fact that it converts straight to PDF so that I don't have to keep converting .Max files. It is also much quieter than my old one, which many of my colleagues in the open plan office are grateful for. The fact that it can be USB powered is also extremely handy for meeting and conferences.
On a rating of 1 to 5 I would give it a 4 - compact and easy to use.
