I am using this to scan documents for family history and a research project, and the ease of operation is great. I bought it for the size of the bed for oversize documents and it has worked perfectly.
I did have a small issue with set-up and jumped on a live chat with tech support - solving the problem in less than 5 minutes.

Excellent 12x17" scanner if 800 dpi meets your needs
This replaced a Plustek OpticPro A320L which broke down within a few weeks of use. The two are apparently identical except that this A320E uses a Toshiba 800 dpi imaging element in place of the A320L's Sony 1600 dpi element. I don't need more than 600 dpi and the Toshiba element appears to deliver high quality scans so for the difference in price the A320E is very attractive for me. The scanner has a row of "One-touch scan" buttons on its right edge which in principle are a very nice idea. But the DocAction/MacAction software that programs their functions is seriously inadequate, which makes them all but useless at least for my purposes. For instance, one common task for me is to scan successive pages into my ABBYY FineReader software for batch editing and OCR. But DocAction offers no way to do this; it insists on starting a new instance of FineReader for each new page. Another common task is scanning outsize art. But for that it is best to use VueScan, which needs to control the scanner itself. So the buttons are a good idea whose bad execution deprives them of value. I did have a little difficulty in installing the scanner under Windows 10. I was able to resolve the problem straightforwardly with the aid of Plustek's excellent online chat help. To illustrate the scanner's capabilities I attach two scans. One is a standard color and grayscale target. Here it can be seen that the scan quality if very good, if not quite outstanding. The other is of a very difficult object, a 14kt gold watch, wrapped around a towel roll. Scan bar motion is right to left and resolution is 400 dpi. Note that only the watch's crystal is actually in contact with the scanner glass. Aside from the disappointment of the one-touch scanning buttons and a little residual worry regarding reliability (based on my sad experience with the A320L, whose mechanism is very similar) I am satisfied that this scanner will meet my needs well, at a relatively modest price.

I've had it about 2 weeks and I've been putting it thru all the paces! It's quick, accurate and simple. I'm attempting to digitize 40 years of family photo albums along with various other family mementos for safekeeping. My album pages look great (and don't require further cropping unless I go back to eliminate the hole punches), Easily scans up to the 12x17 it advertises and for larger than 12x17 just 2 scans and PhotoShop photomerge create 1 excellent image! This was exactly what I needed at a cost I could justify. Customer support even has an online chat option for quick answers.

I bought this in April 2022 and did not have a chance to set it up and use it until today (07/07/2023). I bought it to scan all my families photo albums (50+ albums) without having to scan each picture individually. From reading other reviews and comments, I read the instructions carefully and was able to set it all up and started scanning. So far, I am very happy I made the investment and bought this scanner
