Ambir TravelScan Pro PS600-AS 48bit Mobile Document & ID Scanner

Pros: Have moved to Windows 7 and the scanner is still working great. Receipts and short documents are fine; takes some persistence for long documents. Adequate for printed article clips.

Cons: Not for photos.

Other Thoughts: It developed a narrow, black streak for a short amount of time. Streak disappeared after a dozen scans.

Pros: worked well while it worked.

Cons: quit working. "on" button got stuck in the down position. dome contour of button hung up on underside of case top causing it to try to feed paper continuously. i powered it off and took out the 4 screws and released the button and smoothed it's edge so it would release after pushing. a week later the nylon paper feed gears began to slip and after that it quit altogether. i'd never buy another one of these. i probably voided the warranty by going through the paper seal over the screw hole, but the hassle of the return shipping, etc isn't worth it.

Pros: Scanned documents look great. Scans to PDF, JPG, or TIF files.

Cons: I wan the scanner to save the files to the server but there is no way to set a default location in the software. It just defaults to your documents folder every time you start it.

Other Thoughts: I'll probably get a 3rd party scanning software program in the near future. 3 stars b/c the software doesn't remember your preferences.

Pros: Works in Win 7 32 and 64 bit.
Comes with travel sleeve.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: We have several techs that are finally moving from XP to Windows 7, and their old scanners no longer worked, these just plug in and go.

Pros: We have around 95 employees and I have around 15 of these scanners in place. We have a mix of baby boomers and Gen-x so a good mix of generations. Everyone uses them with ease and loves them at our dealership. Very easy to use, they do not require a power cord (big plus), scans directly to pdf files. Very simple and the scan quality is amazing, plus can be adjusted.

Cons: This is a good 1-4 page scanner, if you are looking for a 5-more pages at a time scanner I would look at the Fijitsu 1500 or better.

Other Thoughts: We put these in place to replace fax machines for the 1-4 page faxes and they fit the bill.

Pros: Plug in, it works. Receipts, bills, short documents. Gets day-to-day paper off your desk, out of your files and in the paper shredder. Comes with soft travel pocket.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: Didn't try photos, but I never intended to use it for this.
