As described. I needed to scan roughly 70 pieces of 11x17 artwork at 300dpi for a project. The scanner is quick and I was able to complete the scan in under 2 hours.

For some reason, the button functions stopped working after the first few days, so I have to scan using my computer. Otherwise, it works well.
