DESIGN & ERGONOMICS
A well-resolved workgroup object: the sizeable touchscreen makes PC-less scanning practical, while the body remains a manageable desktop unit.
LONGEVITY
The 9,000-scan daily rating is strong for this size. As with all ADF units, roller/glass cleaning is essential when scan volume rises.
