Xerox XTRAVEL-SCAN Travel Scanner 100 Mobile 600 DPI USB Scanner

• CLR 600DPI 24BIT USB 2.0 OT VRS

This product sems to work pretty well.

It is very small, came with a leather sleeve for travel, and software included. It has one big button on the scanner, but I do not know if it does anything, becasue it comes to life and scans anything you stick in there automatically (no need to turn on).

The software was a little crazy to install (had to install twice) but seems to work well. Comes with some warnings about not plugging the device in until the software is installed, but then it was unclear exactly when to connect the scanner.

This is USB powered so there is no AC plug.

Scans in black and white or color, just have to change the settings to color.

It is a little tricky to get a straight and complete scan. Helps to have a flat surface and smooth paper. It starts scanning when the sensor is triggered so if the paper is not all the way in to the feeder then you will miss some of the paper and have to try again.

My biggest grievance with this product is the software. You only get a trial version of their software! If it was a full version I would have given this product 5 stars. The trial version only allows one page at a time. The full version allows you to merge those pages into a single .pdf. Sending someone a 12 page contract on 12 different pdf files is a joke and far from professional.

If you merge these and send them with the trial version, the pdf will have "TRIAL VERSION" all over the front of it embarrassing as well.

The full version of the software cost $100 as much as the scanner.

Work around Set the software to scan into Adobe pdf format, get free pdf995 and then you can merge pdf documents for free.

Thinking of sending this back only becasue of the lack of ability to merge pages scanned into one pdf. This should not be a $100 add on, everyone is going to need to do this.

The work around is OK, but why should anyone have to take extra steps for this most basic function? Come on Xerox!!

I use a flat bed scanner at the office but, since I have started traveling much more, I wanted a portable solution to scanning receipts while on the road. This one got some good reviews and I liked the form factor. It will scan full 8.5x11 documents (common at hotels) as well as the small register tapes (restaurants, etc...). It's fairly quick, the images are perfect for submitting to my client, and it fits in my computer bag right next to my 17" laptop. The fact that it's powered directly through the USB cable is perfect no extra AC adapter to carry.

The applications that come with it are great, too. I love the drag-and-drop approach to building my single PDF of all my receipts. My customers do too. Very easy to work with everybody can read PDFs.

Only reason it doesn't rate a 5-star rating is because it has developed a habit of generating a faint line on scans wider than 2 inches. If I clean it before every use (about a 3-5 minute process since it requires multiple cleaning passes and test scans), it's under control and works like new. However, the line seems to continually recur and annoying. Not bad enough to ruin the scan but, still, it shouldn't be doing it at all. I may contact Xerox to see what they think but too busy just now to do so.

Not a complete replacement for your flatbed scanner if you need high quality photo scanning but excellent for everything else.

Highly recommended.

Read Best Reviews of Xerox XTRAVEL-SCAN Travel Scanner 100 Mobile 600 DPI USB Scanner Here

I bought this because out of all the portable scanners, this had the best reviews. It runs off of USB not requiring an extra power adapter, which is a plus in my book. The instructions talk about using a cleaning sheet, which I have yet to find. So far, cleaning has not been and issue. I always put it back in the leather pouch that came with it after each use, so dirt and grime probably aren't going to be much of an issue for me.

The reason it got 4 stars instead of five is the software, as most other reviewers have complained about. I am pretty computer savvy, and I had a heck of a time figuring out the issues with it. The scans were coming out dark and fuzzy in all formats. I went through the adjustment scanning process a couple of times and finally got the scans to come out clear. Because it has an auto scan feature, it made the process difficult.

I am using Windows 7 64 bit, and it comes with Windows fax and scan software. I find that this makes the scan process much simpler. Clicking scan instead of the auto scan in the provided software eliminates issues of crooked scans or off page. Now it is a breeze. Click scan, pops up in adobe, name it, save it. Done.

For the price, portability, and size, this is a great little product. If Xerox provided a more viable scan and edit software with the product, it would be a 5 star.

I bought this because it was small so I could use it when I travel for business. It scans receipts very quickly with great quality and crops them automatically. The scan application opens and takes the scan automatically when you insert a paper. I can scan many receipts very quickly. I use it at home instead of my normal scanner now because it is so much faster and it makes doing my expenses much less of a headache. Well worth the money.
