Rated 4 out of 5

You could say it is a great jack of all trades but not an expert of any one type of scanning

we just started a digital storage system in our office. it requires files be searchable PDF in B/W, PDF color, images for DL and Check copies, and others. This is a low cost scanner option that works well. The only issue I have had is getting the proper settings for image files, which was resolved with a call to plustech (driver error). It works well however if you plan on scanning heavy loads, this is not your device. I run about 100 pages a day and it handles it very well. You could say it is a great jack of all trades but not an expert of any one type of scanning.

This is the third one we have purchased my staff liked the other two so much that I decided to put one on my desk. My IT guy says they work better than the much more expensive FUJITZU Scanners.

This is the third one we have purchased my staff liked the other two so much that I decided to put one on my desk. My IT guy says they work better than the much more expensive FUJITZU Scanners.

The Plustek SmartOffice PS286 Plus workgroup class document scanner is designed with the image quality, paper handling and reliability required by the most demanding business users but at a price point attractive to home and SOHO users. The small size and footprint of the SmartOffice PS286 Plus make it appropriate for office, front desk or portable scanning tasks. The 50 page Automatic Document feeder and 1500 page per day duty cycle tell you this scanner is built to scan documents in any application requiring frequent document and rigid card scanning.

The SmartOffice PS286 Plus is designed to scan business documents up to 14" long and rigid cards, such as ID cards and drivers licenses, up to 1.2mm thick, without operator adjustments. A3 sized documents can also be scanned using the A3 scan mode and included A3 protection jacket. Mixed batches of documents can be scanned without sorting thanks to the class leading paper handling and image processing. Single Touch buttons automate up to 9 different scanning jobs including: scan to searchable PDF, save to folder on your network or your computer, scan to email, scan to an application, scan to printer.

Built in image processing insures the highest image quality, reduces rescans and increases OCR accuracy. The included software productivity suite featuring ABBYY FineReader Sprint, allows you to easily create and manage searchable PDFs. Industry standard TWAIN drivers combined with TIF, JPG, PDF and Microsoft Office file formats ensure compatibility with thousands of scanning and imaging programs.

Plustek PS286Plus Features

  • Create searchable PDFs, scan to e-mail, scan to FTP, OCR, BCR, copy, or file documents by simply pressing a button. Nine different scanning jobs or functions can be easily setup to meet your scanning needs. Searchable PDF, JPG, multi page TIFF, RTF, XLS file formats are supported
  • The SmartOffice PS286 is bundled with a suite of document management and scanning applications that allow you to be productive right out of the box. In addition to searchable PDF, the SmartOffice PS286 can create all popular image file formats and editable Microsoft Office files
  • Industry standard TWAIN and WIA drivers ensure compatibility with thousands of image enabled applications
  • Business cards can be scanned 20 sheets at a time in portrait position. Plastic cards can be scanned one at a time in landscape position
  • When scanning various sized documents at one time, smaller sized documents are often scanned at the wrong size. The Auto Crop function can automatically identify the dimensions of the image and crop around the edges
  • The Auto Deskew function helps automatically straighten the skewed image after auto cropping is finished
  • Three Color Dropout modes allow you to remove a color channel such as red, green or blue while scanning
  • For example, if the original document contains blue text or a blue stamp (e.g., a bill or invoice) and you want to discard it from the image, you may select Blue Channel from the drop-down list box and the blue will not be visible
  • The blank page removal feature automatically removes blank pages after document scanning
  • Automatic Thresholding eliminates the need to manually adjust contrast and threshold for each page. This feature automatically adjusts for darker or lighter areas on a document when scanning in black and white
  • The PS286 comes with a software bundle designed to make your scanning experience easy, productive and creative. The bundle includes Plustek DocAction utility for configuring customized settings
