Advantages: Speed and Quality
Disadvantages: I must admit the Cost is High But you get what you pay for.

Ok well im about to start a review on something that I never thought I would rave about. Its a Scanner! They have been out for ages, they were very usefull in the past but for years now I could do with out them. Once I stored all my old family photos in and saved them to Disk I got rid of my Scanner because I never used it after that. Well Recently at work we have been working on a project. For obvious Reasons I cant say what it is, but all the ...
...bits of paper, the best part of thirty years old. There were litterally 100s of 1000s of pages, nothing on computer just all Paperwork. There was only one copy of everything. The boss decided to invest in a scanner that could cope with all this paperwork and get the copies on PC. He bought this, hence why Im writing about it. We ordered it from Misco, One of the Suppliers we use from work for £617.23. It came next day delivery. It was well packed ... Read review

Advantages: small - takes very little desk space
Disadvantages: single sheets only - cannot be used to scan page of a book

I have been using the Visioner Strobe XP-200 for a year . This is now an essential piece of kit for me. It takes up very little room on my computer desk and sits comfortably between keyboard and monitor. It was very easy to set up and calibrate and was in full use within fifteen minutes of unpacking. Scanning is easy and fast, just insert the page to be copied, print side up, into the scanning slot and the machine will immediately start up and feed ...
...degrees and exits the scanner in a vertical(upward) direction, this allows unhampered paper feed even when the strobe xp200 is pushed right up against a monitor. The main advantage for me is the size of the machine which means I can have a scanner right in front of me all the time. This saves a lot of time as I can scan any number of documents without having to leave my chair. ... Read review

Advantages: Compact, easy to use, portable
Disadvantages: Can only scan single sheets

I bought my Visioneer Strobe XP 100 because it is a great little scanner for use on the move. My main PC that I use for work is a laptop with docking station and I wanted something that would easily connect with that. I needed something that would let me organise all of my documents, photos, articles, brochures, and business cards and this Visioneer gave me all of that in a very compact unit that was light and easy to carry. It will pack easily into ...
...the USB port which mean I am able to scan documents anywhere I go and I don't have to carry lots of power leads and adaptors. It is a small scanner which works by means of a roller which takes in your document through a slot on the top, passes it over the scanner, and then pushes it out through the back. Because of its method of operation it is less than 300mm wide (12") and barely 50mm deep (2") so it takes up no space at all. The downside is that ... Read review

Advantages: Ease of use, reliability, durability
Disadvantages: Size, weight

...here to read about the HP ScanJet 5100C, not a history of your handheld garbage". Bear with me you see, this convoluted introduction is going somewhere vaguely related to the 5100C. This you see has been a scanner that has outlived the desire to upgrade. Sure, things have got smaller, thinner, great ways of side opening and even printer integration but this 5100C is still being used regularly and the results are still pleasing. Now, one thing I ...
...you have greater understanding, do explain. 'Why the need for excessively high resolutions?' They produce huge images that are impossible to manipulate and take up about five screens in size unless you reduce them. In addition the file sizes make the pargest of hard drives look like a tasty appetiser. Nope, lower resolution scanning has always been my choice and no doubt will continue to be for some time. With that in mind, how does this compare. ... Read review

Advantages: Quick, easy installation
Disadvantages: Takes a while for the lamp to warm up

This flatbed colour scanner came part of a package deal with my computer 5 years ago and i have never had a single problem with it. Its quick and easy to use, it comes with simple installation detalis that even i could follow! Its very simple and plain but works fantastically. Its about normal size for a scanner with its dimensions being (w*d*h) 25.7cm*42cm*5.6cm. It is very light to carry at 1.85kg so it can be placed anywhere. I have found that ...
...one sheet of paper and the quality is just as great! The resolution is quite high compared to other scanners at 600*600 dots per inch. Its got 36 bit colour. It scans a colour page in a reseanable time of 50 seconds but this will turn out to be longer as the lamp takes about 2-3 minutes to warm up. The requirements of this scanner are not much you just need windows older than 95 and a USB plug for it to occupy. The maximum size it can scan is an ... Read review
