Conclusions

Since it has a sheet-feed slot, the KS810 is limited to scanning loose sheet documents. If you have a brand new machine, the device won’t work but the company promised to extent the support to 64-bit environments. Being a hybrid, we approved it as both a nice keyboard and a fast scanner, although we hit some snags with the OCR function. The device requires a spare A/C outlet which means more cable thrown into an already convoluted workspace.

Strong Points

  • Fast scanning
  • Simple and effective application
  • Autoscan feature helps scanning several documents in a row
  • Converts image to several formats
  • Built-in USB hub with two spare ports

Weak Points

  • Not compatible with 64-bit operating systems
  • Doesn’t scan open books or magazines
  • OCR needs fine tuning
  • Requires A/C power adapter
