Great simple well designed interface, but the free version does not allow you to select your source scanner (if you have 2 or more) and does not allow you to select your destination printer (it auto prints to the default). Also multiple pages are sent to the printer as separate jobs, so if you are printing to a PDF printer, as I was, you end up with a PDF file for each page - not a single PDF doc with all pages - as desired. FYI - there is also a nagware screen that is displayed each time you close the application. If you are using this as a true photo copier (ie. paper to paper) it works well. If you are using it for anything PDF based, you may be disappointed.

I finally have a use for my scanner. After digital photography became popular, my scanner just collected dust in my closet...now I use it all the time. Great simple little program that does just what it advertises without all the the extra junk usually bundled with "one touch" scanners. Thanks Nico!

I have been using photocopier for three years and have been very happy .Recently bought a multipurpose unit so I could replace it. Needless to say I had to reinstall photocopier and my original scanner to regain the ease of use I was accustomed to. Never needed the advanced features but free version is excellent.

I've got all these tax documents to copy. And Nico's Photocopier even worked ... 1 time. Yep! I got A whole copy out of it before it refused to work and complained of Twain problems. Now why would it do that? I didn't change anything, run twain (or photo) software, didn't reboot, heck, I just went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, I come back, and this is what I get. Maybe Nico's Photocopier is jealous of the drink? Well, this little application is just going to have to grow up before I can recommend it to anyone.

Sure, lots of scanners come with "one-touch" scanning but they always pull the job into some goofy photo editor. This program is reminiscent of the controls found on a traditional photocopier (hence the name) and has familiar UI for quick print jobs without all the what-not. I usually have it set for 100% grayscale and have found it useful for all sorts of quick work. Thanks Nico!

I have a scanner and a printer, normally to do a PhotoCopy involves using PaintShopPro to capture the document and then print it. This software does exactly what it claims. A simple window allows you to control what is to be copied and how many copies are required, it is that simple. It detects the scanner and printer as claimed with no problems. The developer has put what he calls a Nag Screen on exit which promotes other software he has developed which is fair enough for free use of software. To sum up it is simple to use and does exactly what it claims to do.
