Very Good

The price seems kind of high but this is a good machine compared to the typical MFP it'll whoop them. The software needs updating to be compliant with modern machines. Xerox did post Vista x64 compliant software drivers on it's website. Don't know if...

We have used this scanner to scan everything from small business cards, large card stock, normal paper and photos. Both 1 sided and 2 sided have been great. It is fast in black and white mode. comes with pretty good software that can read typed writing...

Feeder is biggest issue - We really had to work with the thicker card stock to make it go through. Also it just can't deal with more than about 30 pages in the hopper. The software is kind of strange to use until you figure out why sometimes it puts...

Incredible scanner

Very powerful scanner, for documents only. I'm not sure if this is a good photo scanner. I also bought a Canon thin flatbed for photos.

Very fast scanner. It moves the sheets thru rapidly, 1 sided or 2 sided scans doesn't seem to matter. Seems that the sheet feeder path being almost straight helps. Had another scanner before this, and the paper curving almost 180 degrees had jams and...

Not many, but I'm sure I may find some if I look hard enough. Only had this for a week now

XEROX DocuMate 272 XDM2725D-WU 48 bit CCD 600 x 600 dpi Fast Duplex Sheetfed Scanner - Retail

I researched a lot of scanners and reviews are hard to come by. I was looking for one that we could use to convert office files paperless. I finally went with this one.

The software package is good. At least it eliminated the need for buying Adobe Acrobat which saved us a few bucks. The scanning quailty is good and as fast as they claim. After owning it a month I feel like i have a pretty good understanding of how it...

The second install CD was missing from the package which the company used overnight mail to send to me. It still took a couple of days

Quick review of Xerox DocuMate 272

There's a lot to like about the DocuMate 272, the faster, better, easier-to-use workgroup scanner solution for vertical markets that need to scan plastic ID cards as well as mixed sized documents. 30% faster than the leading brand workgroup scanner in...

This Product is GREAT!!

I purchased this scanner about 6 months ago. I really did not want to spend this much money on a scanner, however it was necessary. I own a small business and work from home. I use the spare upstairs bedroom as my office and I am required by law to ...
