Rated 1 out of 5 by from Pas pratique et difficile à configurer Vraiment pas simple d'utilisation. Difficile à connecter au wifi. Bourrage intempestif avec des feuilles neuves. Ne garde pas en mémoire le paramétrage wifi et il faut passer 15 minutes à le reconnecter a chaque utilisation... La batterie doit absolument être chargée pour pouvoir fonctionner (même en mode USB). Donc à part le design et le fait qu'il soit compact, pour moi ce scanner est une grosse déception surtout à ce prix.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Un mauvais produit Toutes les feuilles que j'ai scannés sont de travers. C'est tellement proche du bord vers la fin de la feuille que si je veux l'imprimer de nouveau ça part dans la marge non imprimable. C'est un décalage qui peut être acceptable pour certains (on parle de 3mm de décalage de coté entre le haut et le bas sur la longueur d'une page A4). Il n'y aurait que ça ça irait mais non. - Le deuxième pire port usb 3 du monde vous le reconnaîtrez c'est un port micro usb 2.0 (le pire port au monde) avec un ajout pour faire 3.0. A l'ère de l'usb C ça fait mal. - Il faut rester connecté à un ordinateur pour le charger. Bye bye le nomade, impossible de charger avec un chargeur usb. Pourquoi faire ça ? - Il faut configurer comme il faut l'ordinateur de destination si vous voulez imprimer dessus, jusque là ça va. Par contre faut arriver à faire fonctionner la doc qui demande d'utiliser le mauvais mot de passe (qui est sur l'appareil car il faut qu'il soit généré aléatoirement maintenant.). Mettez la doc à jour. - L'appareil déco reco sans arret sur usb, windows fait le son d'appareil connecté/déconnecté toutes les 30 secondes. Sachant qu'il faut laisser l'appareil branché plus d'une heure dessus car c'est pas nomade en chargement c'est la catastrophe. Peut être que je suis mal tombé ou peut être que c'est juste un mauvais produit. Pour info, j'utilise la dernière version disponible du firmware etc. J'ai fait la recalibration de l'appareil avec la feuille inclue. Je n'ai eu aucun changement. J'ai fait une réinitialisation d'usine sans succès. Je renvoi après 3 heures d'utilisation...

Rated 1 out of 5 by from always goes offline when it decides it wants to be online it works great. However, after 2-3 scans it ALWAYS goes offline. Even when plugged into PC. The time ive wasted trying to update drivers, unplug/plug back in USB cable, restart PC is ridiculous, brother should be paying me to use this product.
