Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program In our business, we scan a lot of federal documents and these sheet fed scanners are absolutely indispensable. Over the last year, we've used the Xerox DocuMate 3125, Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500, Epson WorkForce GT-S50, and the Fujitsu fi-6130Z sheet-fed scanners.

For us, the fi-6130z was the clear winner for various reasons; but, this Xerox DocuMate will definitely appeal to many people.

Here are the things I liked about the DocuMate 3125:

The Software was easy to install and configure. It did take some time to set up all the functions how we wanted them but that's true with most of these models.

The hardware is excellent. It's as fast as any of the other models we tested and it handles multiple sheets of paper well. It doesn't separate sheets as well as the 6130z but it costs half as much, so I wouldn't expect it to.

I like the configuration options on the scanner itself. This is one area where the Xerox actually bests the 6130z, simply for the reason that we can select simplex or duplex scans by pressing a single button.

It supports both TWAIN & ISIS drivers. (I still can't believe that the Fujitsu Scan Snap doesn't support TWAIN!)

It is very compact. This is true of all the models I mentioned above; but, I figured I should mention it anyway.

If I were to rank all the scanners we've been using, the results would depend on the user type.

For business users, I would rank it like this:

1) Fujitsu 6130z

2) Xerox DocuMate 3125 (I only ranked this above the Scan Snap because of its TWAIN support. If you don't care about TWAIN, I would reverse these two.)

3) Fujitsu Scan Snap

4) Epson GT-50

For someone who just wants the convenience of a sheet fed scanner (including business users who don't use it as part of a larger system):

1) Fujitsu Scan Snap or Xerox DocuMate 3125

2) Fujitsu 6130z

3) Epson GT-50

Overall, if you're looking for a capable and highly configurable sheet-fed scanner, I think you could do a lot worse than this DocuMate. Especially when considering the cost, I think the DocuMate is an excellent value.
