Manufacturer's product description
The Mustek Be@rPaw TA series is the next generation in scanning. It was designed with decor in mind. It also includes a front panel with five easy-to-use buttons, which are attached to unique functions such as scanning, faxing, copying and e-mailing. This innovative scanner features Plug and Play scanning through a direct USB connection. Installation of the Be@rPaw TA Pro couldn't be easier. Thanks to the power of the Universal Serial Bus connection, you simply plug the Be@rPaw TA Pro scanner into the USB port on your Windows computer. The USB interface 2.0 permits faster image transfer rates than standard parallel port scanners (up to 480 MBPS) and enables "hot-swapping" so users can connect the scanner only when needed.
Advantages: cheap sturdy good resoulution Disadvantages: some problems with xp
...bought this at local pc shop as my other Mustek brokedown. upon opening was pleasently suprised by the design better than most scanners at this end of the market. but sadly did have some driver conflicts with Windows xp in the end tho got it to work perfectly on wifes pc running Windows ME. If you are looking for a no frills scanner with an up to date design just for scanning photos etc.. at home then this is the one for you. Resoulution is better than you would expect for a scanner in this price bracket. You can adjust and play about with your scanned photos, pics etc with the bundled software. my rating 7/10 would have given it more if Mustek where a little easier with customer support on their website....

The Mustek ScanExpress 1248 UB scanner is very old now and due to its age it has become very cheap. I was given this very flat-bed scanner by my uncle, the reason for that act of kindness was not due to his love but due to his computer retail shop being... more
For some reason I have never had much luck with scanners, I have had about 4 in my life time and each of the first 3 have died some nasty death, the worst being that the last one decided to start smoking before the glass cover shattered. Anyway, I... more
