5.0 out of 5 stars No longer a skeptic!, April 17, 2000

By A Customer

I was quite skeptical when I heard the Agfa was "easy touse". The one-touch buttons which are programmable are handy, butyou're not committed to them. It's suited for such a wide range of computer literacy. If you're a low-tech person, this scanner is for you. If you're a high-tech person looking for great value, user-friendly software, sleek and compact design, and good-quality scans (good enough for my freelance publishing and design), this scanner is for you. I was only upset to find that this scanner which cost me a fraction of the price I paid a couple years ago for an HP, scans better and faster! As with any computer peripheral, do your homework, and it make sure it's compatible with what you're looking to get from a scanner! END

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great value for the money!, July 11, 2000

By	raingardener (Madison, WI United States) - See all my reviews

I never scanned anything before I bought this scanner, but my first scan turned out great! I'm using my scanner with a B&W Macintosh G3, but it also works with Windows 98 if your computer has USB ports. It took me less than 30 minutes to set up the scanner and begin scanning. The Scanwise software that you use to make scans is laid out in such a straight forward manner that it takes very little practice to learn how to use it effectively. It features a guided mode that can guide you through the scanning process every time you scan or just until you feel comfortable doing it. The more I've "played around" with scanner, the better my scans have become. The latest versions of the Scanwise software are available on Agfa's web site, and they are easy to download and install.

I've had a couple of questions for Agfa about my scanner that I submitted to them via their web site. Their customer service reps have responded to my questions within 24-36 hours.

I've been using my scanner to make copies of old family photos for which there are no negatives and, with a little effort, I've been able to turn out some beautiful reproductions that have looked as good, if not better, than the originals. That process starts with a good scan of the original.

I'd buy this scanner again!

5.0 out of 5 stars easy,easy,easy!, December 29, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Ohio) - See all my reviews

I am a new computer user, and therefore pretty dim when it comes to installing new hardware and software, I had a terrible time installing my printer and was quite hesitant to try and install a scanner, but wanted it bad enough to try. It was so easy! I just finished and I am very happy with the setup. There are easy to follow step by step instructions for the novice that made the whole process a breeze. I got it to scan successfully the first time out also, the only thing I can see is that I will have to play with the color adjustments as the pictures came out a little pinker than I like. Believe me when I say it is a great scanner for the beginner. Have fun!
