How well does it pull receipts in straight?

the feed depends alot on the quality of the receipt paper. if it's thin/slick/wrinkly your results will vary. the most reliable feed of receipts will come from using the clear plastic sleeve.

I've scanned every type of document with this scanner and it performed top notch. I believe there's a micro switch in the feeder area to detect and pull documents through, so it really depends on how the user aligns each document when scanning. I haven't had a problem with receipts being scanned straight.

i have a macbook pro 13". i scan the documents out of my dsmobile 700d using acrobat pro which has a built-in feature to straighten the documents automatically (deskew). i also have photoshop elements but it requires manual intervention to straighten the documents. to answer your question, how well does it pull receipts in straight? if you dont have a 3rd party software like acrobat pro, it all depends in how straight is your aim when feeding the document into the scanner. otherwise if you have a 3rd party software with the deskew feature you should not have any problem getting a straight copy. i have a macbook pro 13". i scan the documents out of my dsmobile 700d using acrobat pro which has a built-in feature to straighten the documents automatically (deskew). i also have photoshop elements but it requires manual intervention to straighten the documents. to answer your question, how well does it pull receipts in straight? if you dont have a 3rd party software like acrobat pro, it all depends in how straight is your aim when feeding the document into the scanner. otherwise if you have a 3rd party software with the deskew feature you should not have any problem getting a... » Read More i have a macbook pro 13". i scan the documents out of my dsmobile 700d using acrobat pro which has a built-in feature to straighten the documents automatically (deskew). i also have photoshop elements but it requires manual intervention to straighten the documents. to answer your question, how well does it pull receipts in straight? if you dont have a 3rd party software like acrobat pro, it all depends in how straight is your aim when feeding the document into the scanner. otherwise if you have a 3rd party software with the deskew feature you should not have any problem getting a straight copy. « Show Less

It is okay, not perfect. Sometimes it goes better than others. You can't send them through too fast without lining them up.

I'd say about 20% of the time one side gets pulled, but the other doesn't and the image gets skewed. It helps to hold the receipt and guide it through.

You get both an image of the receipt and Neat does a fairly decent job of catching the name of the vendor, sales tax and amount, although in some cases, it gets confused, especially if there is the amount of the change given back. You can always look at the image of the receipt and make changes. You also can print out at some later date a copy of the scan. Hope that helps.

I own the S1300i and that's one of my primary uses of the scanner. You will need to flatten out the receipts before feeding it through the scanner but once you do it works pretty well.

the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and uses the same software. the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and... » Read More the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and uses the same software. « Show Less

Not really intuitively. Its great for a scanner but I found that I may be to illiterate to use it to its total functionality. The set up is not very user friendly if you don't have experience. For tax returns its a good scanner to process your receipts but you will have to categorize yourself. Its a good scanner but I wish the directions were more user friendly.

I manage a c-store. It plugs in. It is very accurate. All you do is turn it on, put the bill on the plate and you can see the strip in the bill. In each strip it will read the correct amount of the bill. Ex: a 50 dollar bill will actually have 50 written in the strip.

Yes, yes it does. You just put the document stack in the feeder on top and it will pull them one at a time to be scanned. The alignment of the documents can be a little troublesome at times, but nothing unworkable.

One more thought though. My statement about the HP scanner is misleading. True for full page receipts, but unlike most flatbed scanners this one only scans the receipt, not a full page of nothing. A small receipt, like from a gas station pump, scans in a few seconds.

I don't know about receipt, but i can tell you that i scaned A4,A5 and even smaller papers, all in one set and this scaner just do the work. either for thin paper or for thick ones.i scanned with this machine ten of thousands of paper with great results.

I only use the basic scanning software. I wasn't very fond of the card tracking software, and I'm not sure it includes a receipt manager. But from the reviews, this scanner is far better than Neat. And hardware-wise, I've been very happy with the Fujitsu. I do however use a service from shoeboxed.com to manage my receipts. This might be more of what you're looking for.

Yes. However, you also need the Point of sale software to print the receipts .

In concept, it will work. The tough part is that there is no way to control how large you scan area is. If your text is small, the scanned area could be several lines high. I found recognition somewhat unpredictable when I tried to use this for receipts.

This comes with everything I needed, including the scanning software, and with Adobe PDF OCR (character recognition). So I store all my scans as a PDF and organize them in my own directory structure (for example, 2013 receipts). I found this to be the best solution. I also own a Neat Receipts scanner, but their scanner only works with their software and their scanning software doesn't reduce the scanned file size very well, and is much slower than this scanner. So with Neat Receipts you can't incorporate multiple scanning devices, and utilize Dropbox if you scan some items with your cell phone, etc. I hope this helps with your decision.

Yes it can. It works fine for that. Small receipts might be a problem, but if you take the time to tape/glue to a bigger piece of paper it should work. I did this with all sorts of papers and with photos, etc.

Yep. They'll need a digital copy of your receipt. You can scan it or even just take a picture of it. Has to be done within 30 days of purchase.

No it does not give a double receipt. It is for desk top adding machines. Instead of having ink or ribbon the machine thermally "imprints" the numbers on to the paper. Similar to ticker tape. It is helpful when doing accounting/bookwork to help keep your ledgers neat and correct to have a print out/receipt from your adding machine.
