The initiation is done simply: It unfolds the compact scanner and even unfolded it takes up very little space. It scans 50 pages (25 sheets) Duplex in less than a minute in 300 dpi color / gray and superior image quality. Silent and fast, scans are of high quality with a grain and colors followed (much better than flatbed scanners). It reorients automatically cut documents (handy for cash receipts, business cards or other non-standard sized documents). It scans locally (.jpg, .pdf) but also towards the cloud (Evernote, Dropbox, Google Docs, etc). Integration with Evernote is perfect.
The scanner plugs into a USB 2.0 compatible. The wifi is easily activated via the button on the back of the scanner.
It can scan wifi from an Android or Apple smartphone using the software "ScanSnap Connect Application" downloaded from the official stores. This is an incredible speed despite the distance from my wifi router.
The latest firmware adds support wifi from a computer, without making a network scanner (only one computer can use the scanner wireless).
For now I've scanned pages in 2880, the majority come from books and computer magazines. It is recommended to change consumables (40 approx) every 20 000 pages (I still have the margin).
In addition to driver CD and some storage applications in the cloud provided the reference file manipulation software Adobe Acrobat X Standard full version (price about 350).
Please note that 2 mini-scanner windows get dirty quickly due to the accumulation of pieces of paper or sticky ends bindings. Therefore, clean them thoroughly (every 200 to 400 pages with use) at the risk of scanning errors in dark images.
I recommend this professional quality scanner that is worn by all, despite a price deterrent for casual users. Given the time gain, it is quickly amortized, must still need to print hundreds of pages regularly.
