The Xerox DocuMate 252 has proved to be an excellent choice of machine for the project on which we are working. It is simple to use. Pages are scanned quickly and with a very good quality of image. The ease with which simplex or duplex can be selected and scanned has been particularly useful.

It has been a great scanner for me. However, I am now considering a change. There are no Windows 7 drivers for it and although you can use Vista drivers to get the scanning to work, these drivers are known to cause windows 7 to fail to shutdown or even crash (blue screen of death) with a driver error.
Xerox are not coming out with Windows 7 drivers for this model so you should consider it end of line.
I dont regret having it one bit. Fast, reliable and saw me through the Windows XP and Vista days. However, I would not be buying it now as the lack of Windows 7 drivers will mean a limited life going foward.

In a word, brilliant. I'm a financial adviser and I've used various scanners over the years to try to cut down on paper, and this is easily the best I've used (this is number 4). I was already using Paperport, so knowing that it was packaged with this product was a big plus, and the integration is seamless.
The scanner I used last was a very fast (and large) office scanner, but resolution was poor, and Paperport integration was slow and cumbersome. The Xerox 252 scans a little slower, but I get the time back when viewing the document afterwards.
The simultaneous duplexing feature is superb, much more efficient than rollering the paper backwards and forwards and flipping it over - as other scanners tend to do.
Noise wise, it is fine. It is still possible to have a telephone conversation whilst scanning only a couple of feet away.
Value for money - can't fault it. If my budget had been a little bigger, I'd have gone for a slightly faster version of the same thing, but I decided not to spend that money and I'm happy with my decision.
As for 'Trade Scanners', delivery was prompt - as promised, and queries were dealt with quickly and efficiently. All in all, one happy customer!
