This scanner is one of the most useful and stupid monsters that I have had my hands on in recent years.
A great idea, although not a new one, carried out stupidly and without the slightest respect or sense of the same towards the possible user.
I explain.
The idea is good, and the result is more than acceptable, but ...
1.- You have to be a bit sadistic to install such a display in the little monster. And it is that the characters are so small that a person who does not have a really exceptional sight, will have to do his best to know what configuration he is using when scanning; a very important fact, by the way.
2.- In case the operation of checking the configuration of the scanner was not sufficiently infuriating, the device has prepared another little surprise for us, no less irritating. And it is that the designer of this scanner deserves the award for total and absolute incompetence. It turns out that the buttons that we must press to configure the resolution, mode (color or black and white) and file type (JPG or PDF) are located in such critical places that, inevitably, there will be times when we will touch one of them during the scan. of a document, with which it will be necessary to reconfigure the values of the scanner; That is in the event that we have already suffered that mishap previously: the first time you are usually surprised a posteriori, when you discover that the document you wanted to scan as PDF and maximum resolution, has been converted into a JPG at medium resolution, let's say . It seems stupid, or wanting to criticize. I can assure you that it is not at all. Experience will tell you.
3.- The icing on the cake. Put to minimalize ,,,, because it turns out that, when I was going to return the scanner, very pissed off by those small details and the Most Important, the lack of some reference points to know the exact area that the scanner reads in width, because I discover that Yes; who has them; how useless the designer was not. That's good!!. It turns out that they are two tiny, almost invisible arrows with minimal relief, printed in black, on the same color surface of the scanner. Oléeeee, your….!
Operating this scanner and making sure that the vertical and horizontal lines do not look like winding roads or desert dunes is a matter, first of skill, and then of experience. Do not be alarmed that with patience and skill you get satisfactory results, even VERY GOOD! If you have the happy idea, as it happened to me, to correct the useless design of those invisible little arrows, putting some white marks in their place, with some adhesive or, simply, painting them. In white, of course, so they can be seen; That's what it is. It seems like a minor detail, but from the moment I made those landmarks visible, the task of keeping the scanner aligned with the document went from nightmare to child's play. And it is that these marks will not only help us to know which exact area the scanner is going to read, but they will also be of invaluable help to keep it aligned while we slide it on the surface of the document.
If you are able to ignore and get used to the aforementioned drawbacks, in addition to placing those marks that I just told you about - essential on the other hand because the reading slot is displaced to one side and it is not worth centering the scanner on the document), in that case you can enjoy the quality of this little monster. The quality is nothing to write home about, but it is more than enough. The Wi Fi option to transfer files to the corresponding tablet is very convenient, as is the built-in MSD card in which we can save our scanned documents in the form of JPG or PDF files, black and white or color and at different resolutions. You can also scan directly plugged in, via USB, to the PC, to avoid another of the FAT drawbacks of this gadget: the wild waste of batteries. To get out of trouble, when you are away from home and you don't have a PC at hand, great; but as long as you don't go scanning. Batteries drain very, very fast.
Well, I am comfortable.
Now I need to publish this trode.
To the bread, bread; and to wine, wine.
