Xerox DocuMate 510

Pros: Multiple page documents feed easily. All pages can be scanned into one Acrobat *.pdf document.

Cons: None, as yet.

The Bottom Line: When you spend a little more for quality, it rewards you for years to come. Our Xerox Documate 510 scanner scans beautifully the first time, still today.

Review: After just moving to Florida, I thought I'd finally better get my AA degree from Palm Beach Community College. My significant other having a Lawn Service Business and me just starting school again after 15 years, it was my quest to obtain a scanner ...

Pros: Good price and fast so an inexpensive unit.

Cons: I have to assume that the sheet feeder is light duty

The Bottom Line: Ok for occasional use

Review: I bought this scanner to replace a single sheet Epson scanner which died. Our small 6 person office (mostly programmers) uses scanners sparingly but most often we have a short document under 10 pages usually that needs to be converted to a pdf document. ...

Pros: USB "plug and play", Quality scans

Cons: Frequent jams, software conflicts

The Bottom Line: This machine does no better than a fax/scanner/printer combo thats half its price.

Review: Touching on the strong points first I will start by saying that the scanner produces a good quality scan. The automatic document feeder is a great convenience for scanning small stacks of paper. OK that's about it. Now, for weak points. When doing any ...

Pros: Cheap, easy to install

Cons: Software failed to deliver

Review: Don't buy this scanner, if you want to use the ADF to scan multiple pages into one document. The "SCANDIRECT" software that ships with this product WILL NOT scan multiple pages into one document. When you feed 5 pages into the ADF (automatic document ...

Pros: Good for single sheet, or documents a few pages long

Cons: Jams frequently. It will scan no more than 15 pages. Software locks up.

Review: I bought this scanner when I installed a medical record system in the office. It was off the shelf at Staples, which is how I like to supply the office, so that I can replace things fast when they go out. It was easy to install, though mine had a cable ...

Pros: Staples took it back no questions asked.

Cons: paper jams ALL THE TIME

Review: The scanner does scan single pages fine. Quality of the scan is excellent and what you would expect with the specs of this scanner. However, the distinguishing feature of this scanner versus others is the sheet feeder. And that is all but useless. I ...

Pros: Relatively cheap for an ADF scanner.

Cons: Poor scans (not accurate.) ADF ruins photos. Poor software.

Review: Sorry, I don't have one good thing to say about this scanner. I purchased it online from a place in Florida (now out of business apparently.) They refused to take it back, just 3 days after the purchase, saying I would have to deal with Xerox directly. ...

Pros: None. There is absolutely nothing good to be said about this product.

Cons: False advertising on the side of the box. It does not scan legal size period.

Review: I don't know how Xerox can in good conscience put this product on the market. The PaperPort software that they bundle with this scanner simply does not support the full functionality of the scanner. If you want to scan legal sized documents or use the ...
