Advantages: Fast, Compact, Excellent Quality scans, Scans Negs and Slides
Disadvantages: Control Interface, Looks like it should, but does not make toasted sandwiches

...play device. Or rather Plug and scan. Your operating system should automatically detect new hardware when you restart or possibly as soon as you connect it, depending on the operating system type. You will then be prompted for the drivers in a standard operating practice. Insert the CD Rom that you get with it and the rest is automatic.
