Does everything I expected.......2007-05-13

I got this scanner in order to convert lots of old paper records to PDF files. It has worked just as I hoped. It scans quickly, even scanning double sided documents in a single pass, and rarely ever mis-feeds or reads two sheets at once. OCR is not perfect, but this is a problem with the OCR software, not the scanner. I have yet to find OCR software that works really well. However, I generally just scan documents as 200 dpi images since I don't really need to convert them to text.

NOT VISTA COMPATIBLE.......2007-03-25

I actually thought I was smart when I checked the Xerox site to see if the product was Vista compatible before purchasing. Sure enough, they had a driver update box which included a selection for Vista and English. Stupidly, I didn't actually press the button to get the driver since I didn't yet have the product. Only then would I have seen the warning that this product isn't compatible with Vista as I discovered upon actually receiving the product and attempting to install same. Only then did I learn that this is the only scanner in its Xerox class for which a Vista Beta driver is NOT available. And, of course, there's no tellng when such a driver will be available. Furthermore, it sounds like most of the software accompanying the scanner is not scheduled to be updated for Vista. How long have these guys known Vista was coming? Pathetic ....

Fantastic quality and speed.......2007-02-22

We are using this scanner in a busy college library and we are extremely pleased with both performance and design. It's fast, easy, and relatively inexpensive. I highly recommend this scanner for any small office environment.

Super scanner.......2007-02-03

This little baby is getting the job done. Our office just went paperless and we have been relying on this machine with no problems so far.The software is very good and should let most people do everything they need to.Xerox support is excellent if you need to ask any questions.Also the price is right on this machine.I highly recomend it.

Documate 152 - Small and mostly good at what its designed for.......2007-01-28

Dainty little machine when the paper trays are in their folded up positions. Still quite small looking with the trays folded out. Have been working with the machine perched on my desktop tower case.

Mostly works like a champ. Once you learn the software and get it configured for what you are doing, you put in a stack of sheets and push the button and (except for problems noted below) you come back several minutes later and you have a PDF with the scanned images of the pages with searchable text.

The caveats are as follows:

While regular printer/copier paper rarely misfeeds, notebook paper sometimes has problems with more that one sheet being grabbed at a time.

In cases where the pages had been torn at perforations (think old tractor feed paper) sometimes the scanner will get partway through a job and then can't get the next sheet to feed without some help from the user.

The out tray has an upwards curvature in it which can make a feeding sheet push around the top sheet in the output tray. Sometimes a previous page gets dumped on the floor and the rest of the output stack is usually a bit disheveled. This more of a problem with wrinkled, torn or hole punched sheets than with sheets in good condition.

On the input tray the adjustable side guides do not go up far enough. With a large stack of paper some sheets will start feeding slightly askew but then straighten out gradually as they feed. The result is a scanned image that has a slight curvature in the image. Cutting down on how many pages in a stack and vigilance on checking the guides to eliminate slop helps a lot.

Have had a few problems with driver seeming to freeze. Cycling the scanner power usually un-seizes things.

A magazine review claimed that the scanner included OmniPage Pro 14, however, mine was shipped with Omnipage Pro 12. OCR accuracy seems pretty good but of couple of options that the scanner owners manual describes as appearing in certain dialog boxes simply aren't there on my computer.

There's a bit of a learning curve for the included software. The front end they created to simplify managing scanning and OCR has a decent amount of power but the interface seems a bit clunky to me for anyone who wants customize for a wide variety of paper sizes and contrasts.
On an X2 4200+ machine scanning at 200 dpi on both sides of page the OCR did not keep up with scanning and the front end does not appear to allow new scan to start till OCR is fully completed with previous batch of sheets so I could not keep the scanner more than perhaps 50% active.

If it had shipped with OmniPage Pro 14, I would have given it 4 stars.

As advertised.......2007-08-31

Just a tip: check how many memory slots you have, and determine what memory you already have. I thought I was doubling my 512mb. Rather I had two slots with two 256mb sets. So I could only replace one and now I have 768mb instead of the 1024mb I was hoping for.

I got the memory within a week which was good since my old computer now showed its age, but upon installing the Simple tech memory it has revived my old computer. The computer now performs like a computer should, i dont have to wait while programs open, I think I am going to buy another strip, I was very impressed.

I looked on line for additional memory to speed up my machine since Norton Internet Security 2005 ate most of the memory that was left and made it's operation VERY slow. The memory was about $2 more than the cheepest I had found on the internet. Since I already had an account with Amazon, it made it easy to order. One I got it, I plugged it in, turned the computer on and it worked GREAT! Amazing what an extra 1/2 of Gig of memory will do to speed up your machine. Memory worked fine! Make sure you check with your computer's motherboard manufacturer for comptable memory before ordering any memory.

It Works Like a Charm.......2007-07-17

Man, after reading the reviews here I thought that I had made a big mistake in buying the Xerox Documate 510. I bought it for office use at my desk, light to moderate use, mostly for document scanning. The unit works fine. I admit that the paperport software takes a little to get used to. It wants to do everying, like organizing your files within its system of doing things. My files are already organized, thank you. So I just use the simple Microsoft Office Document Scanner software that I already know how to use. It's fully compatable with the scanner and I can convert to PDF without a problem. I can fax scanned documents as easy as pie.

In looking over the negative reviews here, it seems like many of them had problems with the set up and didn't get much help from Xerox support. i.e, an axe to grind? Don't let them scare you away. The instructions are explicit on how to do the set up. It's not a simple plug and play type of unit. But, it took me about 1/2 hour to do the set up and I'm very happy with it so far. I paid $200, including shipping, off of ebay and it's worth every penny and more.

Not great, but not bad.......2007-07-13

Firstly, it is incredibly important that you DO NOT use the bundled software for this scanner. The program is confusing and terribly disorganized. I have had several issues with using OmniPage, Readris, and Microsoft Scanning software bundled with Windows. While image quality is good, especially considering the speed of the ADF, the ADF gets jammed during almost every scan with these programs.

I strongly recommend that if you have purchased this scanner, use Adobe Acrobat 6 or later. I am using 6.0 Professional and it works like a charm. The file size is extremely manageable (300K for 15 pages) and is quite readable.

If you have not purchased this scanner, DON'T. While I don't have any recommendations for other models or brands, I will suggest strongly that you avoid this one. It has been quite an experience, causing me to use Kinko's and similar because I couldn't get this scanner to work. Since using Acrobat, most issues have been mitigated to a tolerable level.

So far so good.......2007-05-02

I bought this scanner impulsively at Office Depot and then came home to find all these catastrophic reviews. I figured I would keep an open mind and try it out.

So far I have scanned about a 100 pages and it has worked perfectly. When I bumped the resolution up to 600 dpi the scanning took much longer, but the results are impressive. The text is clear and crisp. Plus the paperport software has an "erase" tool that allows me to get rid of all the black smudges and page lines. The results are really spectacular.

I was confused at first to see that if I scanned a 15-page article, 15 different scans appeared in the scan-manager window. But I soon realized that the pages were "stackable" (using the mouse to superimpose one page on top of another) and this stacking operation created a single .pdf document. It's a little weird, but not that inconvenient for someone usually scanning between 10-30 page articles. If there were. hundreds of pages at a time it might be a problem. (UPDATE: actually, when you scan some pages, all the newly-scanned pages appear on the software screen highlighted. If your right click on these pages, you can "stack" them with one click. several weeks after writing this review, I still like the scanner, but amd annoyed at times that the two columns of text on a scanned pages often do not come out parallel.)

I have had no problems with jamming so far. On some pages the text has come out a little crooked, but the software has a one-button straightening tool that works reasonably well.

It is a little annoying that you HAVE to use the included software. I'm worried about losing the disk, something that happens to me all the time, but hopefully in that case xerox will let me download the software.

This scanner was $250. The highly recommended Fujitsu scansnap is $450, plus it doesn't seem to have a flat bed scanning option like the xerox does. So I have to conclude that even thought this scanner may have some limitations it works well and is a good value.

Basically, its crap.......2007-04-10

Touching on the strong points first I will start by saying that the scanner produces a good quality scan. The automatic document feeder is a great convenience for scanning small stacks of paper. OK that's about it. Now, for weak points. When doing any quality scanning it is extremely slow about it, when scanning in stacks of paper (far under the "max" paper feed count) it very frequently feeds the paper in wrong and jams, then many times when it jams, you clear the jam, and then try to start over, and it locks up the program. Then when you go through the whole "end program" fiasco, go back into the program and try to scan it will say "driver busy". So you have to turn it off, then back on. Turning it back on requires even more waiting as it goes through its startup routine. OK now you are back to scanning. Not sure how long though, the ADF seems to jam at its own no matter how perfect the paper you are feeding it is. Other than that, its OK. Id give about 10 bucks for it at a garage sale...maybe. Its certainly not suitable for heavy usage such as at the workplace or at a home office. Overall, its a pretty poor performer.

complete nuisance.......2007-02-22

I set it up according to the directions, clicked the scan button, and the contraption made a noise but never began the scanning process. Uninstalled it, then re-installed it, and the same thing happened. Complete and utter waste of my time. I gave it one star only because it had all the parts in the box.
