What I feel Doxie does to great effect is decouple the physical scanning from the electronic processing. In my case, I know that using my printer means scanning one or a few pages at a time, then immediately ‘processing’ that scan on my computer using the scanner application (choosing the resolution, file format, where to save the file, etc.). Well you would need to take documents over in bunches to your printer and scan them in or worse yet, take the printer or scanner over to the filing cabinet while probably needing to maintain a connection to a computer to store the scanned docs. Imagine the scenario where you have boxes and filing cabinets worth of documents to scan in and all you have is a flatbed scanner either by itself or built into your all-in-one printer. While looking through the product comparison page on the Doxie website, it says the Doxie One can’t handle legal-sized paper (8.5″ x 14″), but I figured it was wide enough, why not? Sure enough, I had no problem scanning those in and then importing them in via the application.Īs I mentioned, one of the big selling points of the Doxie is its portability. One quirk I found that turned out to be a hidden feature if you will was with legal paper. While this may not bother some people, I couldn’t stand it! Perhaps when I get tired of scanning in 100s of pages, I’ll change my tune. However, even if you’re off by a few degrees like I was a lot, if your page has typical margins, you’ll still capture what’s there it’ll just look a little skewed. I found myself wishing on more than one occasion that there was a physical guide that would make it near impossible for me to screw up lining up the page. The most challenging aspect of using the Doxie was inserting the papers in evenly. The other 2 Doxie models also let you scan at 600 DPI. That is the maximum resolution that it scans at, and while I initially thought this was a serious limitation, after scanning in a number of documents, I didn’t feel that I was lacking any detail on those copies. It grabs it and scans it at 300 DPI (dots per inch). Scanning is a simple matter of inserting your pages one at a time face up into the scanner. This is one of those features where the Doxie wins over my printer – portability. For power, you can either plug in the power adapter or throw in 4 Ni-MH AAA batteries. The Doxie One is a svelte 10.5″ long, 2.2″ wide, 1.7″ tall and weighs less than 1 lb (take a look at the photo for an idea of its size). I’ll cover some of the differences later. The HardwareĪpparent Corp released their latest model to their Doxie line of personal scanners, the Doxie One ( ~ $150) late last year, the other models being the slightly cheaper Doxie U that’s geared to students and teachers ( ~ $120), the original Doxie ( ~ $150) and the top-of-the-line Doxie Go ( ~ $200). They also did a nice job on the quick start guide – bright graphics with a minimal of words, but again, works well for this product.

Kudos also to Apparent for not wasting money and materials on including a CD, but instead pointing users to where they can download the latest and greatest version. In this case of this product, that works perfectly.

Apparent took a page from the Apple playbook and minimized the number of features and buttons to only the essential. The Doxie One comes in a minimal of packaging (no blister packs thankfully), with a power adapter, a USB cable, 2 GB SD card, and a cleaning and calibration kit. If your goal is to go paperless and stay that way, I can highly recommend the Doxie One as an essential component of your paperless toolbox. I’ve used the Doxie One for the past 4 weeks and with a few exceptions that I’ll talk about, I love it. I’ve dreamed of a paperless and more importantly, an electronic document repository, for a long time, but that has been mostly a dream as I’ve dreaded having to haul my papers over to my clunky all-in-one printer-scanner, then scan papers 1 or a few at a time.
