Doxie Pro DX400 - Duplex Document Scanner and Receipt Scanner for Home and Office with Amazing Software for Mac and PC

We have limited desk space but needed a scanner to operate our "paperless" office. So I reviewed all the scanners available on Amazon and found Doxie. I have never heard of the brand but with great reviews I did a deep dive. It had all the key features:- Multi-page document feeder- photo or thick original alternate feed- automatic single-pass front-back scanning but ignores blank pages- simple intuitive app where multiple scans can be converted into multiple formats all at onceBased upon checking the boxes I went for it. On arrival I was pleasantly surprised:- setup was sooooo simple and a great quick start aided in the process- footprint was even smaller than I envisioned. Our desk space is still open for work- after hundreds of scans, it still hasn't pulled through two pages at once and unlike the other feeders I have used, the pages pull through straight so no crooked scans- clarity of the scans is excellent- file sizes are less than expected even with high resolution - less space used in our cloud accountI tend to be VERY critical as I have run technology companies in the past and have a product development background. This product has truly exceeded my expectations.

Moving to Europe and got this to help condense the amount of papers, reciepts, photos, business cards, etc. that I've been hoarding for years. Best decision ever! This product is so easy to use. I got 30 years worth of documents scanned and organized in a week or so. I was able to let go of so many bags of stuff and it felt great. It does what it says it will do and it's incredible for the price.

The Doxie pro is doing exactly what i need it to. Setup was easy and scanning is fairly quick as long as your paper is in good condition. But even for paper thats in bad condition, receipts or other items the single item feed mode works great but obviously not as quick because you have to do them one at a time.Image quality and readability of all documents was good and i didn’t even choose the highest settings. It also auto cropped and straightened all the documents.The size and weight are good for a scanner that can scan 20 normal documents at a time. When its folded up it’s fairly compact.Id say the value is priced a bit high at full price. But I got this used(like new) for $150 and I would say thats a good price for this scanner.

Super easy to set up and use

My initial impressions are very good. The hardware seems to be well designed. Case is plastic, but structurally the scanner seems rigid and not flimsy.I have scanned a couple of documents, one was a 10 page doc with some wrinkled pages. No issues, one page had a fold in it but it was not at the feed entrance so no probelm. The scanner is fast even at 300 dpi which seems to provide ample resolution, however it can go to 600 dpi.The second doc was a very glossy map that I had kicking areound my office for a couple of years. The pages wren't wrinkled but the surface was not really flat either. The result was the white areas were a little blotchy. This was easily fixed by setting the contrast boost button to Medium (software button), boosting the contrast slider to 18 and reducing the Gamma to 1.51. This is easily done in the software GUI. You don't have to rescan the document to adjust software settings. You can make changes and see the results in real time. Also before you do anything with the Contrast and Gamma hit the Auto Adjust button to automatically take any slight rotation out of the document. Also when you save the documents you can select jpg, png, pdfs and OCR'ed PDFs.Another cool thing is that the Doxie is a US based company, although my Doxie Pro hardware is made in Taiwan.They immediately send you an email asking about your satisfaction and offering help if you need it.So in summary, nice hardware combined with good and flexible software. It supports Windows and Mac.I do wish they had a Linux option as I am drifting away from Windows.

Some confusion on set up and down loading app. The scan speed is fantastic EER

I'm a "fumbler & bumbler" when it comes to tech. But Doxie's different. Starting with an unexpected 30-day unconditional money-back guarantee, which immediately put me at ease. The instructions are clear, the setup has been easy, and the results have been really good. All I can say is "try it, you'll like it"!

The only reason I did not provide a five star rating is because even though the requirements state Win 7 and above, the support team for the product state it is not supported on Win 7, which was one of the major reason I bought the Doxie Pro to use with my desktop. While resorting to travel my laptop, the scanner does work fast and well, with easy to use to options. I do NOT regret the purchase.
