Description:
The Visioneer 6200 is small, easy, and practical for most basic scanning uses. With an optical resolution of 600 x 1,200 dpi, 1,200 dpi hardware supersampling, and 2,400 dpi interpolation, this single-pass scanner with plug-and-play installation effortlessly becomes an essential tool. Wide rather than deep, hinged in the back, and with a small 17-by-11-inch footprint, the 6200 sits lightly on your desk, leaving plenty of elbow room. To set up the 6200, we plugged in two cables, loaded the speedy and clearly explained software, and started scanning right away. (The user's guide covers all the bases simply, and we recommend reading the guide for trouble-free installation. For example, it explains the need for installing the PaperPort software before connecting the scanner to the computer, without which the installation will not be complete). We liked that the top of the scanner can be lifted or removed to accommodate books, bound documents, and more substantial items. One-button operation and fairly intuitive on screen instructions, combined with the legible user's guide, made us feel proficient with the scanner quickly. We could drag and drop documents and images instantly onto linked applications, edit photos quickly, and use OCR (optical character recognition) to automatically convert scanned documents into editable text. The PaperPort Deluxe software provided crisp onscreen images and helped us manage a variety of scanned documents and images. MGI PhotoSuite II SE provided easy-to-understand templates to create calendars, brochures, and business stationery. Highly portable at under 6 pounds, the unit readily slips out of the way to make more space. The Visioneer 6200 USB scanner is packaged with application software on CD-ROM, a USB cable, an installation guide, and a power jack. --Barbara Price Pros: - Light and compact with an unusual back hinge
