This scanner will not work with Mac. Im sure it works great with PC, but it is not for me.

Its a little quirky but the scans are high quality

The documate is probably consistent, but the NUANCE software that operates it is not.  It seems to have a mind of its own at time, inconsistently scanning portions of a full document, saving scanned documents 90 degrees off, for no apparent reason.  But there are ways to to work around the quirks.  The images - .pdf, jpg, etc are of high quality.
