5 out of 5 stars Excellent small scanner   August 3, 2008

I got this scanner to have a small footprint for my portable office. It really does what is says. Easy archiving of all documents no larger than legal.


5 out of 5 stars Great Convenient Product For Travelers!   June 22, 2008

I travel 2 months a year in my Motor Coach and I need to stay in touch with my Clients and Office. This small scanner works wonderful, takes up little to no space and offers great quality. I have never scanned photos, but for simple black and white projects it was the perfect answer for me.


5 out of 5 stars An excellent product!   May 6, 2008

Purchased and have been using this scanner for about a month. What a great tool this has been to get all of my various paperwork into order. For the couple of reviews that complain about this scanner, this is for scanning paperwork, not photos of Grandma. The feeder works well, it occasionally slips but not often. Scans are very crisp.

The scanner itself is very small and doesn't need a power cord which is awesome.

The enclosed software is remarkably good: it's small, easy to use, and does the one job you want it to (make scans) and doesn't try and be some grand organizer for everything. Best of all the software automatically creates everything in PDF format.

Highly recommended.

I recently purchased the Docketport 465 scanner from Amazon. I bought it simply for it's size as I had little space left in computer travel case, but I definitely needed a scanner to round out my portable office. To finalize my selecting the Docketport 465, the reviews were good on Amazon (I don't buy *anything* that does not have good reviews on Amazon) and the price was right.

Just so happens I got the Docketport just 2 days prior to a business trip out to the DC area. While there we received an unexpected offer for a house we had for sale. We received the offer on our email at the hotel we were staying at. I printed off all 20+ pages, then my wife/I initialed all the pages and signed the offer, and then used Adobe Acrobat with the Docketport to scan all 20+ pages right back in to a PDF file and emailed it back.

When I bought the Docketport I didn't know that it was fully integrated with Adobe Acrobat, but I can tell you that it worked flawlessly for what I think to be a fairly good exercise of it capabilities. Another very nice feature is the automatic paper feed when scanning multi-page documents. That feature makes it very, very simple to use because you don't have to keep responding to dialog boxes over-and-over telling it "yes, scan another page." You simply put in the next page to scan and it knows you want to do another one. Very, very, nice feature!

The other obvious part, while I wasn't scanning pictures, I can tell you that it did a very nice job of scanning in the 20+ pages of offer for our house. Last little "nice feature", it gets its power off of the USB cable. Lord knows I did not need to carry yet another power cable in my computer bag! Great feature!

So, from the business traveler's perspective, the Docketport 465 gets a rock-solid 5 stars from me. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a solid performing, compact, efficient, easy to use, scanner that takes up very little space in a computer travel bag.
