    3 out of 5 stars A Gift for my Husband   August 30, 2008
    Anon, Arlington, VA
    A Gift for my Husband; he seems to like it. I wish it could also scan as a flat-bed scanner; it only has the sheet feeder. However, it can do double-sided scanning.


    1 out of 5 stars Nothing but problems   July 7, 2008
    B. Woodruff (earth, solar system, miklyway, universe)
    This scanner for me has been nothing but problems. A seemingly good idea (making the scanner like a fax machine so it can scan multiple pages) is muddled by bad software and shoddy construction. The scanner constantly jams, cannot handle anything on paper thicker than printer paper (i.e. photos), and the scanner software frequently looses contact with the scanner. Do you self a favor and don't buy this product.


    4 out of 5 stars Very pleased with my Xerox Documate 152   June 10, 2008
    Rob (OK)
    As a small business "pack-rat" I bought the scanner to convert all the old hard-copy business reports I had saved over the last 30 years. So far, I couldn't be more pleased. It handles the legal sized reports with ease. It's fairly fast at 300 dpi and while it has jammed a few times, it was easily cleared. After about 6 days, we've emptied out about 3 file cabinets and have it all saved on an external hard drive in pdf format (and backed-up on DVD). Being on the hard drive makes it more accessible than it's ever been. The reports may actually be useful again.


    4 out of 5 stars Good Duplex Scanner & Software Bundle   June 10, 2008
    Action Danno (OBX, NC)
    We have been using the Xerox 152 scanner for a few months & they have performed well. Both color & Duplex this small scanner works well in home/office setting w/ quick feeding and a small footprint. The software is very good Paperport 10/11 & omnipage that does everything we need it to do. We have purchased 10 units and besides a squeek or two no major problems. Recommend leaving PaperPort open all day rather than openning & closing the software each time it is used (not a hardware issue) this seems to have stopped the Paperport issue of not launching w/ each scan. Enjoy!


    2 out of 5 stars Good scanner bad software partner.   March 7, 2008

    The scanner itself is pretty good.

    The software is not bad but can be very slow. The software support is pretty sketchy. The company 'Nuance' / Visioneer whatever company name that provides the paperport, onetouch drivers charge $10 an email. Also it seems that they are a bit of upseller. I just feel they built in things to their software that will require you to seek support so they can make more money.

    e.g. their online registration process does not work when you give them your serial number. I've attempted it numerous times. They won't let me get the 'automatic update' function without a 'successful' registration. Well obviously if their registration process doesn't work we'd have to seek out support for $10 a pop. This doesn't seem like a coincidence.

    Bad choice for Xerox. I wish they picked a more reputable partner. I'm going to try find different software for this scanner if possible.
