Xerox Mobile Scanner review

Design

The thickest of portable scanners in our roundup, Xerox measuring 11.5 x 2.8 x 2 cm and weighs 1.35 pounds. It is larger and heavier Plustek Mobile Office S410 (10.8 x 1.9 x 1.3 cm and 0.87 pounds). Despite its size, the Xerox Mobile scanner still relatively attractive, thanks in large part to its curved shape. We also appreciate the two-tone paint job, a shiny silver color up top and dark underneath.

Setup and ease of use
While convenient, allows for the inclusion of a 4 GB Eye-Fi Wireless SD Card creation of the Xerox Mobile Scanner quite a long affair. Because the scanner is battery operated, you must first install the battery, but Eye-Fi card. Next - and here it is annoying - Xerox says, you have the mobile scanner into an outlet and stabbing charge for eight hours. Worse yet, you can not use the scanner while recharging.

You can use this time for the enclosed Xerox XMS PC Connect software and drivers, and the third Nuance PaperPort, OmniPage Pro, NewSoft Presto! BizCard, on your laptop. When you finish installing the Xerox software, you can use Eye-Fi software. The setup takes a while, but because you have an Eye-Fi Center account creation.

Performance
If you are looking for a fast document scanner, you will want to pass Xerox. Scanning a black and white document to a PDF lasted 22 seconds, much slower than the 9.4-second time that the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100, but a hair faster than the NeatReceipts NM-1000 24.4 seconds. Xerox was just as slow when scanning business cards, with 15.4 seconds to a black and white card scanning to a PDF file, the slowest time of any scanner we've tested.

Warranty and SupportXerox Mobile Scanner includes a one-year standard warranty service and support 24/7 support via Internet and access to free technical solutions from the company line. Users can also subscribe to Advance Xerox replacement warranty, which warranty coverage extends for five years and gives you access to priority call response, in addition to all the benefits of standard warranty. Users can also switch to Advance Exchange warranty with on-site, on-site technical support contributes to the bundle.

StatementDespite the relatively long scan times, and the lack of customization options, is $ 249 Xerox Mobile Scanner in a big way, thanks to the wireless scanning feature. Color images can not be his strongest side, but this unit works well in document scanning. If you are looking for a smaller, more affordable mobile scanner that can capture more color-accurate photos, we recommend $ 199 Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100. But Xerox Mobile scanner to scan directly to a USB stick, SD card or smart phone means you do not need a computer, making it a truly mobile device.
