4.0 out of 5 stars Great little scaner, March 9, 2007

By	J. Fetsko (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Scanner arrived in only 3 working days with the Amazon free shipping. The scanner is very small and very easy to use while working in the field. Being powered by USB cable is a real convenience! Scans are very good and the software is easy to use. Scanner is somewhat slow but no slower than any other scanner I have used that is this same size. It was easy to install and I have had only one paper jam so far - totally my fault! I did not put paper in correctly (paper must be put against the right side of slot and in straight). Jam was easy to remove without any problems. I would definitely buy again.

This is an excellent scanner. It replaced an HP picture scanner that would not work with Vista (HP was NOT going to release Vista drivers and suggested I purchase a new scanner from them to replace my less-than-two-years old HP scanner which I declined to do). I wanted a scanner that would travel well and scan both images and text documents. It easily fits in my laptop case and is lightweight. It integrates well with Photoshop so I don't use the supplied software much. I highly recommend this scanner.

1.0 out of 5 stars Plus Tek Customer Service HORRIBLE, February 3, 2008

By	Mtb Chik - See all my reviews

I was really excited about the size and quality of scans I got until the second time I used it when a mysterious black line showed up. I reinstalled the drivers, recalibrated, and cleaned several times with the same results. I am running Windows Vista Business.

I tried calling PlusTek for assistance. Needless to say, it took 3 weeks, numerous emails and phone calls for them to respond and the only solution they have is to send it back. No immediate replacement. So now, my ability to scan and finalize jobs is down for three weeks plus the time for the repairs and shipping.

Think I'll try another brand and sell the 'refurbished' one on ebay.
