    4.0 Stars the scanner was packed with the lid unlocked (as i found out later), and the instructions mentioned to keep the lid locked for travel or extensive handling.
  2. from www.amazon.com

    4.0 Stars - receipt scanning: oddly enough, one of the things this scanner handled exceptionally well was small receipts.

    4.0 Stars the scansnap, on the other hand, uses its own proprietary driver, which only ties into their scansnap organizer program...a program that displays small images of the scanned pages.
  4. from www.amazon.com
