Comes with AC adapter, USB cable and installation CD.
The installation (with me in Win-XP and in Windows 7) is without any problems (even checked online during installation to software updates) and brings, on request, in addition to the basic functions of the scanner, other utilities with (Picture Editing Software ArcSoft, the Abbyy -FineReader for text recognition, etc ...)
The operation of the scanner is ingeniously simple:
over only four good sized buttons on the device can already be basic functions "Scanning in an image file," "Scan to PDF", "Scanning to Email" and "Copy" to run fully automatically,
and one can thus also the scanner on and off. The on-off state is indicated by a Ready LED on the scanner: very nice!
If necessary, the behavior of the fully automatic mode can also be adjusted or optimized.
Who wants to intervene on the fully automatic mode addition itself, which are three more levels (Standard Mode, Office Mode, and Professional Mode) are available, each offering a wider range of functions and advanced settings.
Anyone who wants can thus adjust just about everything.
The scanning speed is acceptable, the operating noise sufficiently low and the scanning result leaves me with nothing to be desired (during scanning).
It can be not only flat originals scanned by the way, but the scanner has a pleasantly large depth of field: so can also display 3D objects or, for example, pages from books unfolded beautifully.
The device is well worth the money!
Addendum:
even after nearly 2 years now is still working everything, as desired, and to the utmost satisfaction.
