For the past several years I have used Epson flatbed scanners for both personal and business use. My Epson scanners provided a very good scan quality, and at a decent scan speed. The Epson software interface was ok, but not the greatest. Last week I decided to take a chance on this Xerox Documate 250, and I'm really glad I did. This thing rocks! I am amazed at how fast it scans stuff. And the scan quality is great. The software that comes with the scanner is really good, too. Much more user-friendly than the Epson software. Another neat feature is that this scanner will scan directly to PDF format. So no more cumbersome file conversion from JPEG's, BMP's, etc. I am seriously considering buying another Xerox Documate 250 (or another Xerox Documate model) for home and/or business use. I'm that impressed. I don't write many product reviews, so that should tell you something about this product.

I have to scan medical documents, sometimes 4 or 5 at a time, to .pdf. Interfacing with Acrobat 6 was a problem at first, but Acrobat 6 Prof and Standard have an update, 6.0.2, and after that, I had no problems. This machine is FAST. Zip, zip, zip! Done! The software interface is simple and unobtrusive. I use a program, MacroExpress, to facilitate the process,and this is the only software I've used (two others so far) that adapts almost pefectly. The warmup time was a problem for me in the past. I dictate reports, then attach other documents to the finished products. If one inserts the sone-to-be scanned documents in the scanner as one is nearing completion, it warms up, and by the time I'm ready to scan, it's over in a matter of seconds. I spent a significant amount of time searching for the best if not perfect scanner. This is it.

The product support was friendly and good, and I didn't have to wait too long to talk with someone when I was having trouble with the Acrobat 6 interface. Coming from a flatbed scanner without auto document feeding, I feel like the ape in the beginning of 2001 Space Oddessy, my leg bone just morphed into a space station.

I have been using the DocuMate for two months, but it was in use for some time before I arrived at my company. I like the machine a lot and have considered calling my co-workers at my former place of business to recommend it.
Last week, the machine started jamming and was feeding documents in crooked. I later saw what I believed to be a strip of paper dangling out of the output tray and yanked it out. It was a long white strip of tape. After its removal, image quality dropped to the point of uselessness. I decided to try using Bic White Out Correction tape over the space where the adhesive strip had previously been and the image quality returned.
I have called Xerox to reorder this missing "part" and have been told that there is no replacement part because the machine is assembled overseas. Can you imagine that a $700 machine can be disabled over a three cent strip of tape? I will continue using the machine and reapply the white out if it removes itself with use. OfficeMax sells the starter package for $2.29 and two-pak replacement tapes for $3.99.
Four stars for product use, 1 star for Xerox product support.
