Summary: Seeing Amazon's prices I'm sick.
Review: I bought one from aol shop direct brand new lost the PaperPort Deluxe Driver Disk.I payed more than I want to say because everybody will want me to buy prime farm ground on the bottom of the Mississippi River.The prices on Amazon are great.
It is not much of a review butI never had the chance to use it much.I hope I don't get in trouble for saying this,but I buy something and they would try to sell me the samething five more times in the same year.

Summary: No free tech support for any time period.
Review: I bought this scanner because there was no driver update for my 7600 model parallel port scanner for my new computer with Windows XP . As usual the software now for operating new hardware is not any good. I have tried to use the Scan Negative option. When I click to review the negative, I get a message that it's "sorry but the program has to close". And then the paperport program freezes up. I bought it to enable scanning negatives. I haven't been able to scan a negative yet. Money wasted. If you need to contact someone for support there is no 1-800 number to call. Bad choice of products.

Summary: The scanner I received had obviously been used.
Review: The scanner I received had obviously been used. Worse yet it was ship unlocked (there is a lock on the bottom to keep the scanner in alignment during shipping). Tech Depot was good about taking it back and even sent a UPS label to return it. At the moment the scanner is in transit, hopefully I won't have any difficulties with the credit back to my credit card

Summary: Disappointed!
Review: This is my second Visioneer scanner. I bought this one specifically for its 35mm slide scanning capability. I have followed all of the instructions for software/hardware installation (I used both Windows Me and XP) for USB and still the slide/transpancy feature does not work! Quality of the scanning for color prints lacks sharpness as compared to the Epson/HP scanners that I have used. Will consider Epson or Canon next time.

Summary: Average scanner.
Review: This scanner seemed a bit bulky when I got it, the CanoScan N1240U Flatbed Scanner only weighs 3 pounds but this one weighs 9. It was easy to set up, just installed the software and it was compatible with my Windows XP Professional computer. One of the problems is that everytime you start up the computer, it wants the scanner to be on and the program that opens is annoying if you don't need to use the scanner. There isn't a way to turn this option off so that's a big downfall. Also the program could use some improvements in its interface and ease of use. The scans are great quality but the software could use some improvement. All in all, this is a good buy for an average scanner.

Summary: easy to use but a little bit slow. Bulky.
Review: Visioneer never states the scanning speed of this scanner. I test it once scanning 4"x6" photo at 300dpi (color). 12 sec to see the preview, and 22 sec to finish scanning and date transfering.
But this is a cheap scanner equipped with USB 1.1, what do you expect.For your info., ScanMaker 5900 with USB 2.0 claims in their spec. that its scanning speed is 18 sec for 4"x6" photo (color) at 300dpi, and 30 sec at 600 dpi. If you do not see stated scanning speed in a scanner's spec., it is safe to assume the measurement is not a proud number. Any guy from Visioneer wants to defend their products? For guys interesting in OCR, I tested it once. The bundled software can recog characters at 99% correct rate in a second. But the page format is not up to my expectation. It miss-read O(Oh!) as 0(zero). I just bought it, so I will play more with it and get more feeling about it. I am a little concerned about its MTBF, becuase its cold fluo. lamp is always on when its power is on. And the "rubber" belt to move the scanning head? I may tell you when it breaks.
