 GREAT Buy for My Office and Home Office |

DEC. 2008 UPDATE: I have bought 8 of them so far for various offices and have had zero problems with them.
DEC. 2006 UPDATE: I have bought 4 of these to date, without any hitches at all! Nice!!
The scanner does a fine job. There are many options to control file size and scan quality. The interface took a little getting used to, but after a couple of days I was a "whiz".
PLUSES:
I like the fact that it scans directly to PDF format. I especially like the "Scan Manager" that allows you to preview, reorder, and add pages to an ongoing scan. For example, if you finish scanning a document and want to add a forgotten page to the same file, you can do so in the Scan Manager. You can even re-order the forgotten page to its proper place in the PDF file. This feature would also be useful if you had a 200-page document to scan since the ADF cannot hold 200 pages at once. The machine also comes with a spare ADF "roller", which is supposed to need replacing after 20,000 documents.
I had some trouble with pages that had been stapled, but I was able to correct my problem by flat rolling the staple holes to make it feed properly. This was more user-error than the machine's fault. In fact, I scanned an unstapled 50 page document without a hitch.
I will buy this same machine as the demand for it grows at my office.

| I am in the process of scanning all my documents, bank statements, tax returns etc... and this scanner does a great job. It is very fast with the ADF and the Paperport software it comes with does a wonderful job organizing the information in folders. The software will also let you search the scanned document for any words in the text of a document. This feature is really great once you have scanned a lot of documents. This scanner, and the excellent bundled software, is a great addition to my attempt to digitize my world. Highly recommended. |
It Works Like a Charm

Man, after reading the reviews here I thought that I had made a big mistake in buying the Xerox Documate 510. I bought it for office use at my desk, light to moderate use, mostly for document scanning. The unit works fine. I admit that the paperport software takes a little to get used to. It wants to do everying, like organizing your files within its system of doing things. My files are already organized, thank you. So I just use the simple Microsoft Office Document Scanner software that I already know how to use. It's fully compatable with the scanner and I can convert to PDF without a problem. I can fax scanned documents as easy as pie.
In looking over the negative reviews here, it seems like many of them had problems with the set up and didn't get much help from Xerox support. i.e, an axe to grind? Don't let them scare you away. The instructions are explicit on how to do the set up. It's not a simple plug and play type of unit. But, it took me about 1/2 hour to do the set up and I'm very happy with it so far. I paid $200, including shipping, off of ebay and it's worth every penny and more. |

| While I agree with previous posters about customer service. I completely disagree with the overall "do not buy" comments. I have had 5 different ADF scanners (priced below $500) and have had numerous problems with all, EXCEPT for the Documate 510. This product is fantastic and is one of the only true low priced ADF scanners. |
Superb scanner for the price - make your home paperless!

I wanted a product to convert cabinets full of paper at my home and be able to search for documents when I needed.
So far, the Xerox 510 lives up to its billing. You can just add stacks of paper to the document feeder, walk away, and come back to add more. Costco had it for $309 less $50 rebate so a good price. The software scans directly into PDF and also allows conversion of existing PDF's into paperport format.
I love it so far (scanned 500 pages without a hitch or jam!) |
