I love this Scanner mainly for the document option: you can scan as many letters/documents as you want and it will create a single pdf from it when you are ready (it will ask you after every scan if you want to continue scanning or exit). This is SO practical! If you don't like the autocrop option you can pre-set a printing size or manually select the print frame.What I also love about this scanner is the autocrop function of photos. You could place 3 photos on the scanner (apart from each other) and scan "photos" and it will give you 3 different image files, one per photo. This will save you so much more time than scanning it individually.Aside from these functions the scanner is appealing in design, produces great quality scans, is very light, doesn't need much space, is directly connected to your computer (no seperate power cable), and it is very easy to use.I am writing this review because the auto-crop option did not work right away for me and it drove me crazy (and cost me probably 2h). I had used this scanner at my mom's and knew exactly what it could do and expected the same when I bought my own. I skipped installation as I had bought the same model, but when I started to scan seperate photos during my initial scans, it wouldn't auto-crop it. And I couldn't let it go either. So I started playing around with the settings and ended up using ScanGear to preview the scans and select my own photo frames for the scan. That worked, but I was not happy. It didn't make sense and I couldn't find any help online either. Eventually I had to give up and just played around with different paper size formats, depending on what I wanted to scan. But surprisingly, after I scanned a couple of cards in the document mode, I suddenly noticed that with my final scans it was auto-cropping just as I was used to. What? I don't have any logical explanation for that, I didn't do anything special or different, it's just like it "clicked" and suddenly worked. Today I scanned another session and auto-crop worked right away, so I don't expect any issues any more now, the scanner works great! My guess is that it just needed to scan a couple times to "adjust" after using the scanner for the first time. I still don't really know what happened, but I wanted to let people know in case they experience the same. Don't despair, just keep trying and scanning, and hopefully not too much later it will work for you, too!!!I didn't experience this issue at my moms, because I was scanning single photos over and over again, for 2 days, so there was plenty of time for the scanner to get adjusted, and I didn't know about the auto-crop function either, I found out about it by coincidence, and it make me love the scanner even more! I am so excited to get rid of all my paper piles in the house and get everything digitally organized.
