Looked all around for reviews on this item, and was surprised to find nothing.

This is a smart product, with some great features which has worked flawlessly so far. It was out of the box and running in minutes, with hardly any instruction manual review required. Operation is smooth and quiet, and it starts instantly. Very intuitive operation.

The one-piece toner cartridge is nice, and installed without problems. Some quick math indicates that copies will cost just pennies each with this unit, if the cartridge performs to specs.

For our small home office use, this is perfect. While it is not fast, it works beautifully. It folds up to a small compact size, and is even portable.

I just bought one of these. The first thing you notice when you try to make a copy is that unlike most flatbed copiers-- where an internal scanner mechanism moves, and the object being scanned stays still-- in this one, the whole top of the scanner, including the glass, moves back and forth, and the scanner element stays still. That's fine for scanning papers, but not so good for oddly shaped objects like books, since you can't really press down on the lid.

Also, the auto-exposure produces kind of light scans.

Otherwise, it's very fast, and like it says, no warm up time. You just put the paper in, turn it on, and press "scan".

Since I have no use for high speed, etc, but need some copies
of things sometimes, this little copier is perfect for my uses.
It requires little attention and does what I need it to do.
It is not sufficient for heavy volume, but is very very good for personal use.

I received the PC 140 copier in good time and am enjoying it. The toner cartridge was not very good however, but I've ordered a new one. It was too soft, not good blacks.
