5.0 out of 5 stars Best Scanner I've Used Yet, January 21, 2000

By A Customer

This is the third scanner I've had to purchase, and so far it's the best. Basically just plug and play, and the software is very easy to use. High resolution scans are true to color and crisp and it scans quickly. I am very pleased! And Amazon delivered it next day!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Scanner - Software Only Fair, August 29, 2000

By A Customer

This is the second scanner I have owned that uses a SCSI card. I have never used a USB-connected scanner, so I can't compare the two types. I wanted to get another scanner that uses a SCSI connection, because they are said to be faster. The scanner works well and is very fast. I am pleased with the unit but I personally do not like the Photo Adobe software (which comes with the scanner). I have used it previously, and just do not care for it. I wound up using MGI Photosuite III software primarily (purchased separately), which I prefer. Occasionally when saving images with Adobe, the file would read "corrupt" when retreived. Using MGI, I did not have that problem. The scanner is very fast. The SCSI card was easy to install, but I did have some difficulty loading the (software) driver. I believe that resulted from my previous scanner software. I could not completely uninstall the software from my old scanner, so I think that caused my problem. I had to use the Epson tech-help phone line, which was an excellent experience. You pay for the call, but they knew their stuff (was never on hold). The scanner arrived in just 2-days as ordered, using express shipping (you can track it the whole way). Overall, I am very pleased with the scanner. The scanner has one-button operation, but that can not be programmed to open any software you desire.
