Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Visioneer One Touch 8100 is designed with personal use or small home business scanning in mind. Sporting a compact design, easy to set up, and easy to operate, the 8100 features an optimal 600 x 1,200 dpi resolution (2,400 dpi enhanced) and 42-bit color depth for scanning crisp black text, consistently reliable color, and photo-realistic images. The parallel or USB interface permits virtual plug-and-play ease, so you can get set up and scanning in no time.

Five-button operation allows you to fax, copy, e-mail, or scan documents at the touch of a single button. The character recognition program (OCR) is a package component, allowing you to scan text for speedy editing. Also in the software bundle, you'll find PaperPort Deluxe, which scans directly to network drives for sharing documents and images within work groups. MGI PhotoSuite II SE supports modification of images, so you can touch up, organize, create, show, and share photos.

If you are short on counter space, the One Touch 8100 (just under 17 by 11 by 4 inches and weighing just 6 pounds) moves easily to a shelf or closet for storing until it's needed again. It has an 8.5-by-11.69-inch scan area and comes with a complete software bundle, including TextBridge Pro 8 OCR, WebPublisher Link, PictureWorks, and PhotoEnhancer. With all these features and one-step setup, the One Touch 8100 couldn't be more practical for PC owners. --Barbara Price

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't Discount The 8100 Scanner, September 20, 2001

This review is from: Visioneer One Touch 8100 Scanner (Office Product)

I purchased the 8100 about 18 months ago. My OS was windows 98 and I had no problems installing the scanner software drivers. The scanner worked like a charm. The Paper port software allowed me to link to graphics, fax, and word packages. I updated my OS to windows 2000 and downloaded the scanner update off of the Visioneer site. Once again, the scanner works great. I read the reviews from others who purchased this scanner and was amazed that they were not happy with their purchase. Let me tell you a secret to getting this scanner to work. You must load the software "BEFORE" you plug the scanner into your USB ports. If you use Windows 2000, download the scanner update, run it, reset the computer, plug in the scanner and turn it on. Windows will see you have added the scanner and the drivers you downloaded from Visioneer will load. That is all it is to it. For the price, you cannot get a better deal on a scanner. I'm telling you, it works great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good scanner for the price., June 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Visioneer One Touch 8100 Scanner (Office Product)

Got this scanner after having problems with my Microtek. Took one look at it after taking it out the box and couldn't find the usb port (low and behold, it was hiden behind a little door). Set was simple and without problems, installed all the software in just minutes, and after only 20 minutes I was scanning my heart out. Reviews I've read stated that one-touch buttons didn't work. After fooling around for several minutes with the buttons and software, finally got them to work, it's tricky though. Each button has to be confirgured for a specific type of task and can be modified at your own preference. After figuring out the buttons, using the scanner and software was quite easy. Scans text better than previous scanners I've own, and with less editing to documents once complete, plus it works great for pictures with matte finish. Doesn't quite work too well with glossy prints. If the print isn't clear or if they're a little too glossy, the image comes out kinda fuzzy, but nothing a good photo editing software can't fix. And the scan to email feature worked in a breeze. All and all, it's great as a first time scanner for someone who isn't computer rookie.

Pros:
- easy setup and installation
- One-Touch buttons allows for quick scanning
- great for scanning text and images
- scans faster than most scanners priced higher

Cons:
- scanner sometimes doesn't detect when computer is booted
- the lamp needing to warm up after being off or not in use for some time
- pictures with glossy finish and polaroids are sometimes not too clear

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Scanner I Found So Far!, August 28, 2000

This review is from: Visioneer One Touch 8100 Scanner (Office Product)

I have an AMD K-6 233MHZ computer...Windows 95...this scanner has to be the best value for the money that I've tried....was a cinch to install and it's fast enough for me...I like the sideways layout much better...it fits on my top shelf...scanning results are.....superb...if you're a pro like me the editing software is OK but I prefer others...the text recognition software is good though....you can scan a spread sheet and load it into works and make your own template! When I first tried it out I scanned 20 3 by 6 photos in about 10 minutes....other scanners it would take double the time if not more...and no system lock-ups....the lamp shut-off is controlled by your settings and not on all the time like others...I have to use the parallel port connections because I have Win 95....NOTE, Win 95 users have to use the parallel connections and not the newer USB type unless you upgrade to Win 98! I had no reason to upgrade so this scanner was perfect for what I needed. Now we'll see how long it lasts....my others lasted a couple of years with minor use...good luck!
