Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The ScanMaker 5600 is an excellent digital imaging solution for anyone who needs excellent optical resolution. Using six rows of CCD sensors, the 5600 gets a pre-enhanced scan resolution of 4800 x 2400 dpi. The 5600 installs easily on a Windows 98 or Macintosh system with an available USB port.

To make scanning even easier, Microtek has included its 4-Up Scanning technology so that you can scan up to 4 photos at a time. Place your photos on the scan bed, select your images in the preview window and Microtek's ScanWizard 5 software will scan each photo into a separate file. 5 Easy-Touch buttons let you scan, copy, add photos to email, and even convert documents to text files with the push of a button.

To help you get started a variety of programs are included for Windows and Mac systems, including Adobe Photoshop for Mac and Adobe PhotoDeluxe for Windows. Text recognition software is also included for converting printed documents into easy-to-edit text files.

With the optional 7-x-7-inch MTMA transparency adapter you can scan multiple formats of transparencies, including slides and film negatives.

4.0 out of 5 stars decent, December 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Microtek ScanMaker 5600 Scanner with CD/MP3 Player (Office Product)

Overall a decent scanner. You'll have to do adjustments to your scans with any scanner. The transparency adapter is pretty good, too. I've had some problems scanning negatives. You have to check with microtek to see where it is available. There were some problems installing the scanner with XP, but i got it to work. They might have even of improved the drivers since then.

2.0 out of 5 stars Crooked!, December 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Microtek ScanMaker 5600 Scanner with CD/MP3 Player (Office Product)

My scans come out crooked. If I align it at the top the whole thing has to be rotated. If I align it with a side, then it's off center. This is very frustrating and I will return it. The scans came out decent but very dark. I had to lighten them tremendously.
