The Visioneer Strobe XP200 is a good scanner for the price. It is also compact, fitting nicely on your desktop. There are a few problems with the scanner "freezing". A reset of the computer usually takes care of the problem. Imaging and resolution is adequate. The reviewer has used this scanner at work as an office tool. Several pages are scanned each day. Although, scanning is primarily documents, some color maps, photos and documents have been scanned with the device with good results. The PaperPort software sold with the scanner is easy to use and allows for just about any type of editing necessary. The software also allows for scanned documents to be saved in most of the poplar file formats. I am pleased with the purchase and would recommend the product.
