Visioneer Strobe XP300

The Visioneer Strobe XP300 ($399 direct) is the latest in a long line of Visioneer scanners that are both small enough to fit between your keyboard and monitor, and light enough to be portable. As with earlier models, this one can be a welcome...

Duplex scanning. Portable. Small enough to sit between a keyboard and monitor for quick, easy use. Bundled with PaperPort scanning and document-management program

Sheet-fed only, making it a poor choice for scanning photos. No automatic document feeder

The small, portable Visioneer Strobe XP300 makes scanning two-sided documents quick and easy for those who process a few pages at a time.

Tempramental, buggy, poor quality scans

I upgraded to this scanner from the Visioneer Strobe Pro NT, which I've had about 5 years. Big mistake! Scan quality is much worse, and documents are always skewed, even with auto-straighten and very careful placement of document into scanner. Scan...

Better than no scanner at all, but not by much

Buggy Drivers, poor quality scans, support not helpful

Not for Windows 7

I agree with all the other reviews that it as faults in paper feeding, paper size, etc. but while I managed to deal with all that and still make good use of the thing - that was gone once I got Windows 7. Even even installing all the updated drivers...

Scan Camera is not the most reliable...

The Scan camera is not the most reliable, by that I mean in the middle of scanning it will occasionally stop picking up the image leaving you with a half-blank image. I basically gave up on the duplex scanning all together. I used to be a bug fan of...

Do not buy

Have had 2 DocketPost scanners from Ambir, thought this was the same, it was not. I have a busy optometric office and this scanner slowed us down with constant mis feeds and blank scans.

Duplex scanning, one touch interface

Keeps jamming, does not hold calibration, will not scan consistently

Seeing is believing...

I called Newegg and complained about the various issues. THe lady agreed to waive the restocking fee and issued an RMA. there must be too many ppl complaining.

Small footprint, compact design

Being a long time user of the Strobe product, all the way up to XP 200, I really loved it. however this XP 300 is a major disappointment. it has all the negatives ppl mentioned in the reviews (how naive that I didn't want to believe)--paper jam w/ the...
