" ... It would stop scanning and display an error message "paper jam". ... However, the paper was not jammed. ... So shorter receipts and paper would work but nothing longer. ... "
" ... Sometimes it pulls the paper in crooked, but I have noticed that with even large industrial scanners. ... "
" ... Stopped working after being very slow and constantly causing paper jams. ... "
" ... With a mac, this scanner does not have continuous feed - every time you enter a new page, if you want it as part of the same PDF, you have to click on your computer to accept it. ... If it recognizes a crease in the paper, it stops scanning and will only continue on with the another page, then, it almost always gets stuck. ... I just had to scan a 10 page document into 6 different files because the scanner kept "jamming". ... "
" ... After a year of very light, occasional use, the rollers on this scanner have given out and paper jams EVERY TIME. ... "
" ... Frequently fails to scan a document because it says there is a paper jam (when there is no paper jam), and won't scan again until the cover is snapped open and shut. ... Often pulls paper in at an angle, and doesn't realign scan or properly trim blank space off side of document. ... "
" ... However, if I could go back and do it again, I would spend the money on something with a full document feeder. ... "
