A fast sheet-fed scanner for digitizing boxes of loose photos and paperwork with one button. Fragile, curled or album-bound photos are a poor fit for a feeder.

Overview
A contact image sensor lit by RGB LEDs reads both sides of each photo or page as the automatic feeder pulls it through, so a stack of mixed prints becomes digital files at the touch of a button. Bundled software fixes red-eye and enhances faces.
Feeding whole stacks instead of placing each print on glass turns a weekend photo project into an afternoon. Delicate or curled prints risk jams, and there is no flatbed for photos stuck in albums.
Who it's for
Households and small offices scanning photos, receipts and tax papers get fast duplex batches. Collectors with brittle prints or albums should use a flatbed.
Pros and cons
- Scans both sides in one pass
- Handles mixed photo and document sizes
- Photo enhancement software included
- Many output formats
- No flatbed for albums
- Feeder may stress fragile prints
- Interpolated top resolution
Performance notes
Speed comes from feeding sheets past two sensors at once, capturing front and back in a single pass. Image detail depends on the optical resolution, so the highest setting is software-interpolated rather than true sensor detail.
