Cons
What Users Say
Product listings and manufacturer descriptions highlight the PS188 as a fast, reliable solution for offices that need to scan large volumes of paperwork quickly, praising its speed, ADF capacity and barcode‑driven workflow. However, the lack of USB 3.0 and limited duty cycle are noted as drawbacks for power users.
Common Complaints
Users frequently mention the slower USB 2.0 transfer speed, the 4,000‑sheet daily duty cycle ceiling, and the absence of macOS drivers as the main pain points.
How It Compares
vs. Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1500
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose the PS188 for maximum duplex speed and barcode‑driven workflow in Windows‑only offices; opt for the ScanSnap iX1500 if you need faster USB 3.0, Wi‑Fi and macOS compatibility.
