Digital camera reviews of Xerox DocuMate 510
Digital camera Review: Compatible ONLY with their software
Summary: 1 Stars
Bad Scanner. Only with their software are you able to scan in paperwork. Paperport causes more problems with the computers I have it installed on than any other product I know of. If you have anything greater than Adobe Acrobat 5 installed, you can't use Acrobat to scan in software. Stay away from the Documate line of scanners!Digital camera Review: worst scanner ever
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this scanner to scan approximately 100,000 pages of literature and it is just horrible. I returned it after a few weeks and got the fujitsu scansnap scanner. The fujitsu scansnap is simply the best non-commercial adf scanner on the planet, and I recommend you take a look at it (search for scansnap at amazon). Digital camera Review: Superb scanner for the price - make your home paperless!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a product to convert cabinets full of paper at my home and be able to search for documents when I needed.
So far, the Xerox 510 lives up to its billing. You can just add stacks of paper to the document feeder, walk away, and come back to add more. Costco had it for $309 less $50 rebate so a good price. The software scans directly into PDF and also allows conversion of existing PDF's into paperport format.
I love it so far (scanned 500 pages without a hitch or jam!)
Digital camera Review: ALL images are titled left
Summary: 2 Stars
I have tried several permutations and combinations with this scanner. Here are some of the observations:
1) Image resolution is too bad for the file size it produces. I used an EPSON scanner before, and could get a much better B&W and color resolutions for a much shorter file size
2) All the images are titled towards one side. So, if you are scanning photographs, this is not the right scanner. A part of the picture will always need to be cut out if you try to straighten it up!
3) When trying to get a reasonable B&W resolution (300 dpi), scan speed is not as great as advertised.
Overall, I don't think this scanner is worth its price.
Digital camera Review: worked well, but now driver issues
Summary: 1 Stars
This scanner worked fine for me for a year, and now with later windows 2000 service patches, it has what appears to be USB problems. I've tried the latest driver available on several machines, and if they have windows 2000 with the newest patches, it will only work once or twice, then there is a driver error. I can do the normal windows recovery technicques of uninstalling & reinstalling, rebooting, trying different USB ports, etc. but short of re-imaging the machine, it won't recover. I am using this scanner with Adobe Acrobat 6 Pro with the latest service patches. I've researched and not found a new driver for this device for quite some time. Going to try to hack on a visioneer driver after reading some of the other reviews here.
