Advantages: Can't remember any
Disadvantages: Far too many

...since replaced it with a hp 2115 copy/fax/printer thingy. There's good reason for this. *****Looks***** Well just look at it. It's absolutly massive. It'll have a hard time iftting into today's small and compact technology. Also the plug is definitly the biggest i've ever seen for an appliance this big. It's clunky, takes ages to squeeze into somewhere behind your desk and is just a general nuisance. The light at the front of the scanner too is ...
...it's working. Whenever the plug is in the green light is on. For no real reason I've just found this feature very annoying, but thats just me. Anyway who needs a light with this thing to tell them it's working. When it works the light goes white but it doens't matter because your next door neighbour can hear it working. *****Speed***** Compared to todays multi printer thingies this is just embarassing. Not only does the software take a long time ... Read review

I bought my scanner a couple of months ago, and I don't know why I didn't buy one sooner. I use it sooo much. I use it mostly to scan pictures of my family to use for e-greetings. The scanner comes with its own installation software, and its very simple to use. You just put in the Cd, and follow the insructions on screen. Then comes the fun in using it. I found it to scan relatively quickly and was fairly quiet. The scaned pictures can be done ...
...your choice, ie folders, emailed, optimized for web pages and sent to your printer to print image etc. The dimensions of the scanned image can be altered up to 800% or much smaller than 100% and you can choose to save only a portion of the image to your destination (so if you want to cut out most of the background you can do before you send it to your file). Many types of images can be scanned, from glossy photos, mat finish photos, magazine prints, ... Read review

Being a Graphic Art student, during my first year of university I found myself fighting the urge to buy a scanner. However, even mounting student debts and an overdraft extension could not put me off this bargain of a scanner! Other scanners on the market either seem to have too many needless features bumping the prices up, or they are painfully slow and bulky machines that would not sit comfortably next to a new Mac. I managed to get mine for around ...
...perfect for fast but accurate scans of images, without the fuss of useless applications that clog up your memory [it works best straight through Photoshop]. The added extras like the automatic white-balancing save time, and it crops whilst in preview mode. To add to the list of necessities, it is quite light, it easy to clean, and looks sleek in silver and black. It may take a while to install but it's not complicated and is worth the wait when you ...
