Users can scan at 60 Sheets per minute in simplex mode when you use the simplex option.

You will be able to reach 120 Documents per minute in duplex mode when scanning duplex with the Visioneer Patriot D40.

Scanning 6000 documents should not be a problem, given this equipment’s daily Duty cycle.

When checking the communication interface you will notice that the Visioneer Patriot D40 driver operates on Twain, Isis, Wia, Ica and Visioneer Scan Utility.

You should expect the feeding tyres to have a life about 600.000 office documents.

Specs for paper handling

To prevent double feeding, this equipment uses an No for proper Multifeed Detection.

You will have to work with an ADF capacity of 80 documents, on this machine.

The maximum Document thickness that the Visioneer Patriot D40 can process is around 7 lb. to 110 lb..

Visioneer Patriot D40 accesories unboxing

If one has questions about the dimmensions, they are 12.5 x 9.4 x 26.8 inches.

The Visioneer Patriot D40 has a weight of about 9.2 lbs. This weight doesn’t involve any optional that can be fitted to the equipment.

In the box you will notice the following applications: Visioneer Acuity, Nuance OmniPage Pro, Nuance PaperPort, Nuance Power PDF, Mac TWAIN, Visioneer Scan Utility.

Features for Productivity

Enable the Automtic Page Size Detection and pages will come out at their original size.

You should use the Automatic Rotation of Images for non specific orientation. The Visioneer Patriot D40 has such a setting and you can set it up in the driver.

It’s often a good thing to have color pages identified automatically. A Visioneer Patriot D40 scanner will let you use this function easily.

I can’t imagine running a scanner without the White page detection . This setting is mandatory on just about any machine and it is available on the Visioneer Patriot D40.

The Visioneer Patriot D40 can proccess documents in different settings in a single job. This is done through the MultiStream option.

Quality of images

I have seen the Background Cleaning setting improve with every update of the driver, and it is the same case with the Visioneer Patriot D40 scanner.

I preffer using the Edge Correction setting for text documents. I would not use it for photos though

Can you trust the Deskew document totally? Maybe not, but on the Visioneer Patriot D40 it will work perfectly most of the time.

Hole Punch Removal is a feature that is missing on the Visioneer Patriot D40. I would have preffered it was active.|Would you buy a scanner without the Hole Punch Removal feaure as it is the case with the Visioneer Patriot D40.

I enjoy using Streaks Filtering on text documents, but the Visioneer Patriot D40 does not have this option.

Extra Features

Sometimes I prefer enabling the Feed Paper Manually from the driver, to make sure the Visioneer Patriot D40 will process older documents safely.

Although the Barcode Recognition isn’t the only separation method, I recommend you get it.

On the Visioneer Patriot D40 the Automatic Separation of Documents setting is not present. That decreases the efficiency a great deal.

An Optical Character Recognition is standard with this scanner, as you would expect.

The Visioneer Patriot D40 does not come with the OCR Predefined Zone feature.
