There are different options available for the quality of scan. (24bit, color, 8bit grey and Black\White) You have options in the software also for home\office\pro mode which allow more granularity to how the image is adjusted (I have used this numerous times to keep a copy of my receipts from stores such as Home Depot that use thermal paper that "disappear" with age\heat. I had numerous HP all-in-ones and hated them all. I love this one. Only problem is that if you set it up on Network and USB, USB wont work if you are VPN'd into a corporate network. It acts like it cant see it, even though there is a USB connection available.

Hi Andrei. It's pretty quick actually. I never scan more than say 10-15 pages at a time though. The auto feed works great for this too. I actually own 3 of these all-in-ones for various locations.

No, you cannot. It only scans sheets of paper, one at a time. It is good when you are on the road or on hotels and receive documents for approval. You can easily print your document using hotel facilities, then scan the signed document to respond. That was my only use, since I have to travel a lot in my work.

I mainly use this for scanning and I love it. I use the scanning software provided mainly for pdf files. It scans large 50 page documents and I love the fact it scans 2-sided documents with ease.

After all, it is a machine and can do just so much. It does shred unopened envelopes to a degree; as for papers at an angle, as long as there aren't too many at a time, it should be OK. It will stop if whatever you feed is too much for it to handle - so you just have to reverse, pull out and half what you put in. I still think it's an amazing machine!

Yes, I used and need to be near device. You could have an excel spread sheet open and it will perfectly list out by upc and your quickly scan....a little dynamo. One suggestion, I put on a bungy spring (Lowe's in key dept) and keeps it nice and safe on your writst

I dont know to be honest. All I know was that the version I had crashed constantly. To top it off, I was casually informed by their customer service one day that about 2 years worth of saved receipts and documents were gone. No notices, or heads up about this.. just sorry, they are now gone.. I wouldn't buy a ream of paper from this company much less a piece of equipment to scan valuable documents..

thats why i bought it. you can do it. it is not as fast as some other scanners. took me a while to figure out how to make a multiple page pdf.the quality of the scan is good. it is not as quick as it could be. also you have to perform all operations through the computer. it is not wireless. i would look for a scanner that has a single button to scan and s wireless. my next scanner will have that.

I have both, and the ScanSnap gets my vote. The Neat Receipts idea is great, but the software didn't deliver. It was good at character recognition, but after scanning only 100 documents/receipts or so, it started loading extremely slowly, and got slower and slower each time I scanned a new receipt. It was basically useless, unless you want to wait 10-15 minutes for it to load, and the same amount of time to scan one receipt. I don't know about you, but my paper backlog amounts to a lot more than 100 receipts. I went out and purchased the ScanSnap. There's no character recognition, but if you just want to digitize your documents and receipts, the ScanSnap is your product. Compared to the Neat Receipts scanner (when first purchased) it is as fast (or faster) with single or double sided scanning. It automatically detects blank pages, and it has never once jammed. It creates a pdf wherever you want it saved, and I can easily email the document (which I often do, instead of faxing). ScanSnap is still as fast as the day I opened the box. It gets my vote hands down. Maybe someday they'll add character recognition to the included software.

It works great. I use it to scan receipts mainly. I scan checks in color with decent photographic quality, for a 300dpi scanner. I have been using one for a couple of years, and just bought a few more in case i drop it and break it, as i depend on it! I hope this helps.

I own the S1300i and that's one of my primary uses of the scanner. You will need to flatten out the receipts before feeding it through the scanner but once you do it works pretty well.

You bet it can! I use it for all my sales receipts, warranties, insurance documents, etc. If you're concerned about the size of a receipt, then have no worries. Just place it on the far left and it will go through straight. I've scanned business cards, labels from items I've bought, etc. I honestly don't know what I'd do without this wonderful home scanner. Hope this helps.

I have had no problems with scanning. You can preselect paper size on the computer driver before you select scan and it will scan the whole document.

have never tried it. the scanner will stop if you feed it too fast and finds that the paper is too long.

Yes. That has been my experience. Quality is not superior but decent. This is an affordable scanner for the masses. I recommend this highly IF you intend to use this for scanning large documents and books. I use my older Fujitsu ScanSnap 1500M if I want to scan regular size documents, receipts, business cards since the quality is superior. Hope this helps.
