Scanning for Dummies

Advantages: so easy to use
Disadvantages: my first one was broken on arrival

...would give good results. The AGFA scanner was recommended to me - it isn't too expensive (about thrity pounds, depending on whom you buy it from) it is easy to use, and it plugs in in such a way that you can run your printer at the same time. Now, I've not had a scanner before, so I knew nothing about the possibility of having to unplug and plug it in, and do the same with the printer - I gather this is not unusual. For a person of little technical ...

Review of Agfa SnapScan 1212p

Excellent quality scanner and software

Advantages: Quality of scanned image, Ease of set up, free software updates
Disadvantages: None discovered

...be freely downloaded from the Agfa site. I often scan glossy laminated products and it copes with the reflective surfaces without problem. Another joy for me is that when I scan old documents I need to keep creases etc intact for authenticity. It handles this fine and I have even been asked how I put the creases in! For me though, the main benefit is the ability to just select a destination program and it's launched with the scanned document ready ...

An execellent scanner on budget

Advantages: east to use, instalation is easy

As you will probably know when you receive any new hardware for the pc and that goes for software too actually, you have to install it on your pc. Now I can do simple things like install a game as it generally does it for you but when it comes to hardware ...
...it for me. So about 10 mins later he installed it onto my pc then we had to load all the software on to the pc. The whole process took about half an hour. Now it is ready to use. It is simple to use and all the instructions come up for you on the screen. You scan in the image you want and then you can alter it in size later.

quality scanners at affordable prices

Advantages: cheap, easy to install, fast, reliable
Disadvantages: bulky

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, ...
