Advantages: small size, one button operation, no power supply needed
Disadvantages: some supplied software a bit dated

...machine. I'd seen an earlier Canon and was impressed by the size and functions offered so bought the latest model. Very easy to set up, just run the cd and choose the full install. When it's all done restart machine and plug in the scanner. Some of the software has since been removed as not really useful or duplicated what I already had but without doubt the best bit is the push button operation for copy, print, send by email or make a pdf.

Installation is anoying and to complicated for unexpirianced users.They could make simplier manu with simple full,minimum and custom choice of installation so we don't need to confirm several times that you won't or not to install some aplication. ok,after instalation you may wont to ...
...start point)again,GRRRR I visited mustek suppor center and they haven't other answer exept only that its probably becouse of using usb1.1 .Is it so?Hm... Well When you scann image at 100 dpi and 3x5 cm size it isnt some space size that usb1.1 can't handle.And sometimes it works quite good with much,much larger files.Almost to forget about resolution you try to scann in 4800dpi don't get enything,only image similar those when you lose signal on ...
