  • I am not a big fan of this, because you then rely on the scanner manufacturer to produce good quality results.

    I scan everything using VueScan and that has a special mode for text documents. A single page with OCR ends up being about 25kb as PDF. It removes folding edges, sharpens the letters, etc.

    If that software gets new features, my scanning experience improves automatically, even though I still use the same scanner for 10 years now.

    With relying on the firmware, I would have long ago stopped getting updates and I either was ok with the results or I could throw away the whole device.

    Just as people here recomment to separate printing from scanning, I recomment to separate the hardware and software.
