Visioneer Xerox XTS-D Duplex Travel Scanner for PC and Mac, USB Powered Travel Scanner

As the former VP of Sales for three scanner companies (Fujitsu, Kodak & Visioneer) I have a pretty good idea what a good scanner looks like. Boy, have portable scanners come a long way. The out of box experience for this baby is as good as any Apple product. Nicely packaged with a simple Quick Start Guide, driver disk, soft case and USB cable included.Scanner installed without a hiccup and after downloading drivers (I did not have a cd player with me on the road), I was up and scanning in minutes.Quality of scans is excellent, and the One Touch software from Visioneer makes it easy to scan to PDF, a file or 6 other options. Since I travel every week, this is a great addition to my mobile office when I need quick and great quality images I cannot capture with my cell phone. A must have for every road warrior. Nice that it is USB powered as well...

When I ordered this, I wasn't sure how it would handle duplex scanning. I had several hundred receipts to scan and was expecting to have to feed each one twice. Nope. One pass scans both sides. The software with it also helps make the image as readable as possible. I can't recommend this highly enough. It would be cheap at twice the price.

I really like this Xerox (made by Visoneer) Travel Scanner so much so that we will probably purchase several of them for my office once we transition to a more paperless environment. I really wanted to love it, but I'll get to that in a minute. I compared it against the Brother RDS-720D & Epson DS-40. The Brother was a close second place to the Xerox, but the Brother did not have (or I could not find) a way to auto scan just by feeding a sheet of paper in. You always had to hit a scan button on your computer with the Brother The Xerox, on the other hand, will auto scan once you insert a sheet of paper. Seems minor but it was enough to distinguish the two in everyday use. I also liked the software packaged with the Xerox better than the other two. The Epson also lacked auto scan, was heavier, and just seemed clunkier and less polished overall compared to the Xerox & Brother.Here's the only downside & the reason for detracting a star. I experienced with all three scanners a purplish hue when scanning white documents in color. Also, the color auto-detect of the software was far from perfect. For instance, when scanning a letter with color letter-head it would not detect the color in the letter-head. This was a problem with all three scanners. These two issues were why I explored other options to the Xerox, but ultimately decided the Xerox was the best since they all suffered from the same issues to varying degrees. The Xerox is amazing at scanning in black & white. Color detection and color accuracy leave something to be desired.

Said in the description that it would work with mac. I downloaded all drivers and software, but it still won’t communicate with my MacBook

A lot of detail info to absorb and if you call Xerox for assistance, you are on hold in complete silence (with minor exception) and there is no telling how long the wait is. No video was found to assist. I don't have time for it. The one scan gave a black background and I never figured how to change that to default white. (Black would use a lot of ink to print.) I did like the slip that you could insert several receipts for one page... I returned and purchased the Epson ES200 refurbished from Epson for $28 more (b4 tax).

This is a nice little scanner for light weight scanning jobs. The software provides a wide choice of scanning options and organizational software for scanned media.

This is a handy device that is conveniently portable. It can easily be carried in your hand bag and used in meetings and any other event. It comes with a usb cord that can be attached to your laptop and scan just about any document. It is as described, well packaged and arrived on time.

Works great
