Overview

Home office workers and small businesses clearing paper piles get a duplex sheet fed scanner that runs off the computer's USB-C port. Stacks go in the feeder, and cards slide through a separate slot.

Bus power and a light body mean it moves between desk and bag with one cable. There is no wireless, so every scan goes to a connected computer or a USB flash drive.

Who it's for

Freelancers and small offices that scan in batches at a computer. Families who want to scan from several devices should look at a wireless model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Powered by one USB-C cable
  • Duplex in one pass
  • Separate card slot
  • OCR and PDF software bundled
Cons
  • No WiFi on this model
  • Small feeder for big batches
  • Some software needs a download

Performance notes

Throughput quoted applies with advanced features off at standard resolution; enabling cleanup or higher resolution slows it. Single pass duplex captures both sides at once, so two sided stacks take no longer than one sided.
