Okay... basic BASIC info hard to find: What's the dpi range for this scanner? That should be front &amp; center!

The unit scans at Lo-Med-Hi (300-600-900 dpi). Plus, you have the option to scan in color or monochrome.

I have never had a complaint..., and it is much much better than our old HP. Of course, I don't know how to measure "scanner quality" other than by looking at the output.

I use it on my Win8 laptop fine on the good side its 400 dpi optical resolution, not super high but good enough, especially if you want to grab some text. The 11.7" x 16.5" maximum scan size lets you capture a large area. On the bad side is the "Scan Button" on the side is very easy to hit with your thumb when using as a regular mouse, then you have to cancel out to get back to what you were doing. All-in-All very good if you will be using it. USB 2.0 only Plus they have a website where you can get any new drivers.

Thanks for the extra information, interesting about the rectangular pixels. This seems like a much bigger project than I thought it was going to be. I tried a lot of resolutions and found one that appears to leave only one column of pixels on the right side unused. It's 430x222. Funny how a single digit can make a significant difference.

I don't know the DPI, but the image sizes from my scans ran from 1.1 to 2.8 MB with most of them around 1.4 to 1.8. So, the clarity is good. These photos look sharp when I display them on my large screen TV

Not sure. It's not exactly fast, but I suppose that's subjective in comparison to other scanners. I'm no expert, but would estimate possibly 5-10 seconds a page.

You can set the DPI between 150 and 600. It can handle photo's but remember this scanner is all about speed. If your looking to do some photo's that is really high quality I would look at a flat bed scanner.

Yes! I have been happy with this scanner. Has a reasonable price tag. Good luck!

I have had only good scans from photos. As you probably know you have to have glossy finish photos. Matte finish will give you lots of white and black specks due to the texture of the paper. That applies to any scanner. And of course set your dpi to 300 or greater if you want excellent quality. Epson has an excellent image color and brightness/contrast editing option as well.

According to Consumer Reports tests in fall 2014, scan quality is superior. The product specs say scanning optical Resolution is 2400 dpi, hardware resolution is1200 x 2400 dpi, maximum resolution 9600 x 9600 dpi interpolated, scanner bit depth is 48-bit color input/ 24-bit color output.

The resolution for Color and Grayscale is only 300 dpi (on the Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500). For photos you may want a better scanner that provides 1200 dpi color resolution.

I did a test with my scanner and yes there is some edge problems on my unit: 1/16" on top, 1/4" on the bottom and 1/8" on the sides are missing if you scan all the way to the edge. So to be safe, leave about 1/4" from the edge to be sure to get the whole photo or print. It's really a nice scanner other than that!

I'm sorry I don't know enough about computers to answer your question. However we are very satisfied with the scanner.

Hi Sean, Sorry It took so long. I had to ask Fujitsu to Answer this Question. I have no personal experience with that scanner so I had to do a little research. Here are a few things I found SV600 vs Xcanex Up 1200dpi vs 300dpi 11x17 max vs Letter max CCD optics vs CMOS Currently supports MAC vs support sometime in 2014 Another thing I noticed is when book scanning the Xcanex can only do one side at a time. We can do both sides in a single scan and our software flattens out any curves and skews. Thanks Anthony J Argy Sr Full Color Copier Inc.

It will scan up to 50 inches at 300 dpi, or 25 inches at 600 dpi. Width, of course, is limited by the width of the device. You can download the manual at the Vupoint site for more information.

I don't know. We returned this scanner after testing it with reference colors palette. It didn't meeting our quality requirements. I would not recommend this scanner for any application that require color accuracy.

A normal 8 1/2 x 11. You are limited in width but not length. Just change the orientation of your scanner.
