Manufacturer's Description
This is simple, high-performance scanning at its best. Four easy buttons automate the entire process, and the new Auto Scan mode makes it even easier: It actually detects the type of original you're scanning - a photo, business card, notebook or form - automatically adjusts settings for the optimal results, then scans and saves the image.Your results will amaze you, with color dpi resolution up to 2400 x 4800. You can also create fabulous 19200 x 19200 software-enhanced (extrapolated) scans. The Advanced Z-Lid enables clear, complete scans even of thick originals such as notebooks. Built-in retouching technology further enhances your final images with automatic corrections for dust and scratches, fading, graininess and backlighting. And to reduce the number of wires in your work area, one simple cable provides power and a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection.

Customer Reviews

Well worth the money
This scanner is just great.
Easy to install and to use too. The one down side for me is that it has a maximum dpi of 600 when scanning a photo. Not bad though and darn quick no need for a power supply as it slaves its power from the PC.

Good scanner
Good slimline scanner, looks attractive. Like that is powered by USB. Installed software, like the idea that you can scan straight to PDF file format which saves space and easy to e-mail. Also like the photocopying function. Just press the photo copier on the scanner and it will scan and send it straight to the printer. I find the buttons on the front really useful and quick. It scans documents very quickly (20 seconds for b&w A4) compared to my old scanner.

The only one negative is that sometimes you get a black line which needs cropping since the white lid does not always sit straight on the glass plate. But for this price it is not a big issue.

Great scanner at a great price!
Simply put, this is an excellent scanner, which works straight out of the box. Quite lightweight. I will be using an old laptop bag to carry this unit around when I need it away from home. I would imagine that some modern laptop bags have sufficient room to carry this unit in the same case!? I would suggest placing a piece of acid-free tissue paper (available from model and craft shops) between the scanner lid and the glass platten while in transit, as this reduces the risk of permanent marks being left on the glass if the scanner is accidentally 'squeezed' or compressed in its bag while in transit), as well as locking the scanner with the button on the underside. Tried using the scanner while my laptop was on battery power and the battery did drain quite a bit after several pages, which was somewhat expected but might cause issues if you use it too much in this way. I have an additional battery for my laptop, which reduces this problem.

Do ensure that the drivers are loaded first before connecting the scanner to your PC, otherwise the Windows XP scanner wizard can get a little confused!

In summary, a truly lightweight and portable scanner at a great price, easy to use, intuitive menus in the supplied software package and not that noisy compared to some scanners I have used. Enjoy!
