Have a good short scanner sought which can be used with Windows 7. As I know from experience that it is often hectic with the various preparations of teaching or of tests and exams and one scanner can remedy, was important to me that the device in addition to a good scan quality also has an automatic document feeder. After various research on the internet I chose the Epson GT-1500, which presented itself to me in terms of price, product quality and the processing speed as the best alternative. In addition, he had been judged by several owners as excellent. All this has then confirmed after delivery. Installation was easy to perform using the supplied CD. The unit was immediately compatible with both the PC and the printer connected to it, a color laser printer duplex Brother. After a short acclimatization, I could use the scanner with the printer as a copier replacement, where in fact everything went fully automatic and completely trouble-free. 20 copies, for example for a class work are now working and no longer a problem as the scanner, I can already do something completely different. Moreover, the scanner has other features that I have not tried them all. I go to the few positive experiences that I have made on this unit, definitely assume that also the other ways in which the issue of the scanned photos in JPEG format, or documents or a mixture of both in PDF format, can be used reliably. Conclusion: The document scanner Epson GT-1500 I can only recommend.
