The MobileOffice S410 can only scan one side of a document at a time, so you'll have to scan double-sided documents twice, which can be a pain if you have a large workload. However, we didn't have this problem nearly as often with other mobile scanners that didn't have document feeders. That's more than likely a result of the scanner not having a document tray to keep the paper straight when it moves into the document feeder. One problem we ran into regularly was having our documents become misaligned while scanning them. Documents on the other hand, looked great. A photo of a vineyard bathed in sunlight was darker than we preferred, making it hard to make out finer details. Overall, photos scanned using the S410 appeared clear, but not as sharp as those scanned using the NeatReceipts scanner. It took the NM-1000 35.9 seconds to finish the same task, and the Fujitsu S1100 was able to scan the same photo in 28.9 seconds. When it came to color photos, the MobileOffice S410 proved relatively slow, taking roughly 53 seconds to scan a 8.5 x 11-inch color photo at 600 dpi. The S410 scanned a business card in 2.9 seconds, faster than the Neat Receipts NM-1000 (6.9 seconds) and the S1100 (3.4 seconds). By comparison, the NeatReceipts NM-1000 took 24.4 seconds to scan a similar document, while Fujitsu's ScanSnap S1100 took just 9.4 seconds. During our testing, it took the unit an average of 12.8 seconds to scan a standard black-and-white document. Plustek says the S410 can scan a color A4-size color document at 300 dpi in nine seconds. MobileOffice S410 is designed to scan images between 2 x 2 inches and 8.5 x 36 inches at a maximum resolution of 600 dpi.

We scanned several documents using the software and were immediately able to view them using the Evernote app on our Android phone. While Presto! was great for traditional scanning, being able to scan documents directly to Evernote or photos to Picasa was especially handy.

We were also able to edit any scanned items directly from the software. Scan Buttons also lets you scan directly to PDF, OCR, or XPS formats. The same can be done for WordPad, and PageManager. Load a document into the S410's document feeder and click the Scan to MSPaint icon to scan your document to, you guessed it, MSPaint. Presto!'s Scan Buttons, which serve as quick launch buttons for scanning documents into different file formats, also proved useful. Still, when it came to organization software, we were still partial to NeatReceipts' Neat5, thanks to its ability to automatically extract information from scanned documents, as well as its document recognition feature. We could also drag and drop scanned documents on top of each other to create a single document, and convert files into various file formats.

Scanned items would show up in a main window, where we could easily export them into different folders using a Windows Explorer tree located on the left side of the screen. Out of all of the programs bundled with the S410, we found Presto! PageManager to be the most efficient and intuitive to use. Evernote and Picasa integration are also included with the scanner. The package includes NewSoft's Presto! PageManager, Abbyy's FineReader 9.0 Sprint, DI Capture, Hotcard BizCard Finder 3.0 and the DocAction scanner utility. Plustek includes a large software suite for use with the S410. Plug the scanner into your notebook, pop the installation disc into your optical drive and follow the onscreen instructions (unfortunately, it's not compatible with Macs).
