Effortless double-sided scanning means less time spent scanning and compiling within the generated pdf. Scans are great. After configuration the unit works fine on mesh.

Doesn't take up much space. Huge time saver. The footprint of this device is amazing. Even if you do not travel it just compliments the desk.
