I have had a GT 7000 for over 2 years and have found it to be far better than the model currently being offered by them. It came with a SCSI card which in my mind is by far a better way of connecting a scanner than either parallel or USB. SCSI is faster than parallel by far, and compared with USB it is always present as PC's seem to lose USB devices for no reason. The software included Adobe PhotoDeluxe 2.0, Presto PageManger both very good programs.

I have upgrade to the latest version of the TWAIN driver from the Epson website which also includes support for Windows 95,98,Me,NT 4.0,2000 as well as Mac 7.5.1 and later. Which is good to see as so many firms don't seem to provide drivers for Windows Me. I so pleased with this scanner I strongly suggest you try and pick one up secondhand as they are so well built compared to the new models.
Advantages: Extremely Fast, Reliable, Easy Installation, High Resolution Disadvantages: Costly, End up spending vast amounts on printing EVERYTHING!!!
Before getting my Epson scanner I had a rather pathetic hand scanner, now this flat bed with a resolution up to 19200 has arrived with it’s own SCSI card, my imaging life has changed. The machine is well built, quite attractive and incredibly fast thanks to the SCSI card. The card and device were very easy to install, I’m not used to doing that but the manual helped me along! The Twain software can be as complicated to use as the user wants it to ...

I will launch straight in by informing you that this scanner is definitely not something you should purchase if you intend to use it casually around the home. The cost, and the features, imply that it is far more valuable to a small buisness rather than... more
This A3 flatbed scanner was purchased to compliment an older Epson GT12000 Scanner.
The initial setup was very straightforward, being both SCSI and USB, with the USB being the preferred method mainly for the convenience of being able to switch on the more
