Question 1

How does scan to email work? Does it utilise the default email on the host PC or can it really scan directly to my Evernote inbox?

Accepted Answer

It can do either, but only one at a time. The "Job List" is a menu of functions you can perform, and it includes scan to email. Yes, it uses the email on your host computer.When you install Evernote, a new menu option is added. Once you're signed in, you can scan to Evernote.

Question 2

Does the included software scan business cards and create Microsoft Outlook contacts and populate fields like Name, address, e-mail address, etc?

Accepted Answer

I just got his product in Dec 2013 and the install CD DOES come with extra software.  It does NOT get loaded in with the Typical / Default installation though.  You have to do a custom install.  It's called BizCard.  Scans the card and adds the details to the appropriate contact fields in database format.  Exported to places like Outlook, Google Contacts, etc.  I'd say it's about 75% accurate.  Certain type cards don't read well though (like glossy or dark ones).  But it's still a huge timesaver compared to manual entry.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

ditto

Question 4

If I have a document larger then 20 pages is there a way to connect 2 scanned groups?

Accepted Answer

Part 1) Although the document tray only holds 20 pages, you can reload the document tray and continue to add to the "Job" until you're through (I've never reached a max). Then you save the whole "Job".Part 2) If, after you've already saved the documents as .pdf files, you want to make changes, software exists for any computer that allows you to combine (add, delete, etc) particular pages from various pdf files. On a Macintosh, the included (free) Preview app has this functionality.
