We've been trying to create as little paper up front as possible, and making everything else that we can later on into PDF files. I work in a field that tends to create LOTS of paper-it's a government job, and I think that's "nuff said." I've been working toward making my team's paper output significantly less. The main thing that I intend to use it for is document scanning-I don't really need to digitize photos or anything like that.
I purchased this scanner for home use after using an identical one at the office for several months. I am unconvinced that there are any superior alternatives in this price range, but as a result of my experiences, my office won't be buying any more scanners from either Xerox or Visioneer. I have scanned quite a bit of material with it my complaint is that the experience is inevitably much slower and far more frustrating than there is any need for it to be.
This certainly appears to be Xerox's approach, as evidenced by the product's second-class citizen status on their website and their support personnel's inability to deviate from their call scripts. The "beauty" of OEMing a product made by someone else is that you can take it to market without a single person in your organization knowing how it works. I believe this scanner is actually made by Visioneer, who sells or sold it under another name (4650?) and OEM'd to Xerox as the Documate 510. As an added bonus, it requires you to enter your email address and subscribes you (with no indication that it is happening) to Xerox's marketing email list.

Doing so requires on-the-spot "registration" every single time, including typing in the 20-character alphanumeric serial number from the back of the unit.

I've tried several times to reinstall the drivers in the hopes of correcting some of these issues. Except PaperPort Pro is now at version 10, which isn't really compatible with this scanner, due to the driver problems mentioned above (which are pervasive no matter what application is used, except the shipped version of PaperPort 9 Deluxe appears to have some kind of workaround). Despite the "Deluxe" this product is crippleware, designed to entice you to buy the "real" version: PaperPort Pro. The Documate 510 software bundle includes (indeed, centers around) PaperPort 9 Deluxe, which allows scanning to PDF. I've worked around this in Microsoft Office Document Scanning with a greyscale scan that converts to black and white, but that slows it down from its rated 10ppm to about 3. In my case, I can choose between the TWAIN driver, which inverts the colors of all black and white scans (the option to correct this simply doesn't work on my PC), and the WIA driver, which ignores the auto document feeder, forcing me to babysit the machine while it scans. On Windows XP, it provides both TWAIN and WIA drivers. The DocuMate 510 doesn't work at all with Windows Server 2003, because apparently corporations don't need to scan documents. However, I can't recommend purchasing one because it has some maddening problems that just don't seem to be tractable.
I am moving toward the (still distant) paperless office, and this scanner has gotten me much closer.
