The service was really great with a price match. Installation was very easy but not because of the install sheet provided. A good installation instruction would have made things a lot easier with no guessing. The job got done without to many problems. Machine works great both flat bed and auto feed.

Not a very cheap scanner, but PRO quality. Fast and great resolution.

great kit however the feeder rollers do not always grip paper and causes jam

Fabulous. Easy to use and set up. Seamless and fast scanning. Love to scan editable documents and then fill out on computer. Scans perfectly with no errors.

Not as glamorous as the other more famous F1, but this scanner still races ahead

Fast; good quality scanning; Flexible media handling

Basic software bundle

Slow in scanning to searchable PDF format; especially at default settings
