Our verdict

A touch screen duplex scanner that sends documents to the cloud or a shared folder with no computer in the loop. Support runs through a depot warranty, so a repair means shipping the unit out.

Overview

Families, classrooms and small offices get one shared scanner with a profile for each user on its touch screen. Pages go from the feeder straight to cloud services, desktop folders or phones over Wi-Fi, with no computer required.

PC-free scanning with per-user shortcuts turns it into a shared appliance rather than a desk accessory. Repairs are by depot, which means a stretch without the scanner if it fails.

Who it's for

Shared spaces where each person wants scans landing in their own folder or cloud account get the most from it. People scanning bound pages need a flatbed instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Scans without a computer
  • User profiles with personal folders
  • Dual band Wi-Fi
  • Auto color, size and blank page detection
Cons
  • Depot warranty means shipping for repair
  • Sheet feeder only, no flatbed glass
  • Light source type not listed

Performance notes

Scan quality leans on automation: color detection, size detection, deskew, rotation and blank page removal run on each batch. A gently rounded feeding chute guides paper so it does not curl over, which cuts misfeeds. Fast Startup readies the scanner when the lid opens, so short jobs start without a wait.
