Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Visioneer OneTouch 8900 USB is an excellent scanning solution that grows with you. It's easy to use: just press a button and Visioneer's OneTouch technology gives perfect results on everyday scanning tasks.

Its 1,200 x 4,800 dpi Optical Resolution eliminates jagged edges and captures the finest detail from your original. That's enough resolution to turn a 4-by-6-inch photo into a 16-by-24-inch image with no loss of detail.

The 48-bit scanners capture 64 times more color than their 42-bit predecessors do, for a total of 280 trillion colors. It's like drawing with a whole box of pencils rather than just one. With 48-bit scanning, you get brighter yellows, richer reds, cooler blues, and everything in between.

Advanced users will enjoy the powerful features of the Visioneer Scan Manager Pro driver, ScanSoft PaperPort Deluxe 7, and Adobe Photoshop LE software. You'll find everything you need to correct poor-quality originals or to enhance your images with artistic and creative effects.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time, January 22, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Visioneer OneTouch 8900 USB Scanner (Office Product)

After installing everything as instructed, a message to unlock the scanner kept coming up. After numerous attempts of locking and unlocking I checked the website and followed the recommendations there with no success. They don't have a toll free number where you can talk to a representative and you really can't get any help on their website. The scanner looks nice but too bad it didn't work.

I was leery of purchasing this scanner because of these reviews. But I thought the price was right. The scanner was basically dead on arrival. After it was installed I kept getting an error message that the scanner was locked. It was not locked. Visioneer's automated support web site brought this issue up with the first search, so it must be a common problem for this model. Their only recommendation is to ensure you have the right drivers ( I did) and to plug the unit directly to the wall outlet and not a power strip. Tried that. Their next solution is to return it to the dealer for exchange. I would say definitely do not buy this model.

I bought this scanner a couple of years ago and have just installed Windows Xp and was having problems with the PaperPort Software. I installed the updated driver for XP, and it is working. I was told since this scanner is old I would have to pay $2.00 a minute for techinical support for the scanner. It is not the scanner I was having problems with but their software for which there is no support! They have got to expect problems with newer operating systems. By the way, all numbers for visioneer are toll calls, even their order number. It took over ten minutes to even get to a person on the order number. I can't believe these guys are still in business!!! They don't even have a place on their website to leave feedback by e-mail. Face it, they just don't want to hear from us. I will never buy from Visioneer again!
