Date published: 2023-11-21
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Erfüllt die Produkteumschreibung vollumfänglich Schneller Scanner, sehr guter Druck, leiser als mein Vorgänger Gerät. 2 Punkte zum verbessern: 1. Das Anzeigedisplay sollte in der Position verstellbar sein und 2. Das Gerät sollte eine OCR Funktion beim Scan to PDF integriert haben (nicht wie heute über eine Zusatzfunktion, welche auf dem PC installiert sein muss.)
