A gem, not a flawless gem, but a gem April 1, 2007

I have had this scanner for about a year. I've scanned over 20,000 pages (it counts for you). It has had some quirks, but rarely jams even with odd sizes. It scans the smallest receipts even (even smaller than its rated minimum spec, smaller than a business card), once you figure out where the tab is that senses the paper in the feed. It scans at the rated speed for me, really nice.
The quirks are more software related than hardware. For example, if there is a misfeed, again which is really rare, but when it does happen, sometimes the paperport program freezes, locking up my whole computer and I have to reboot the scanner to get it going again. Another software quirk that has been corrected: It has this great feature to autocrop to actual page sizes, which is very efficient to use because saved file size is directly related to scan dimensions. But when I first got it, this feature had a bug, so that it would only autocrop the first page of a batch; the following pages were not cropped, which made the feature nearly useless for multipage docs. This has been beautifully corrected with a driver update; now you can autocrop a batch of off-sized pages, whether they are all the same off-size, or all different sized. Super.
There is a lot of software that comes with this scanner, and none of it is the latest. In fact, the scanner has been out a couple of years, and I think it's still shipping with the same software as before, and it was not the latest when the scanner was first released. Some of the software is redundant, and some of it seems to have a high learning curve, and there is not really any guidance as to why you would use certain programs rather than others. Trial and error with them is frustrating. That being said, the software that I use the most with it, Paperport9, works beautifully and suits my needs. I scan everything to directly to searchable pdfs, occasionally move docs to MS Word for editing, and this one little machine has changed my whole approach to document handling. It's pretty small, and I keep it right on my desk in easy reach. The first place every single sheet of paper goes is in into the scanner, and is scanned directly to the computer "folder" where it belongs. I love it.
I'm looking now for a second one so I can do off site scanning. I thought maybe this model would cost less now and/or there would be a better one out. But I've looked hard and this is still the best choice in this price range, even though the street price seems to have actually gone up! What other piece of office electronic equipment has actually increased in price for the same model in the last 2 years? I guess I'm not the only who likes it.
