Manufacturer's product description

UMAX Astra 5450 is the ideal scanner for the SoHo and ambitious amateurs with high resolution, easy to use, attractive design and excellent quality. For excellent image quality, the Astra 5450 scans with a resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi and a color depth of 42 bit (14 bit A/D- converter). This high resolution is designed to scan slides and negatives. For this feature the Astra 5450 contains the transparent unit. Another new feature is an additional Scanner button, which offers "Power Saving". This is additional to the three conventional buttons: Scan, Copy and Custom. The Astra 5450 comes with the fast speed of USB technology along with hot-pluggable support giving fast, versatile and high quality image capture. A long life is a guarantee with the dust protected scanner lamp. The Astra 5450 has four built-in scan buttons. Scanning is now as easy as operating a copy machine: simply push one of the buttons to scan or print documents automatically. A third button can be programmed to automatically start OCR, Fax, e-mail or any other application. The Power Saving Button turns the scan lamp on and off. VistaScan beginner mode offers fully automatic scans; just a click on the scan button and VistaScan will do the rest. VistaScan advanced mode offers all kinds of necessary tools for own specific demands such as multiple scans, hue and saturation control, gamma curve and descreening. With VistaAccess in the tool bar the scanner can be accessed at any time, loading an image or text into the current application without switching between several programs. MagicMatch, the Kodak Color Management System, offers calibrated scanner profiles that meet the ICC standard. The color is consistent from scanner to screen display and to printer. By choosing the auto adjustment, Kodak MagicMatch is activated and outputs perfect pictures with a standard setting. For scanning slides and transparent originals, the Astra 5450, including a transparency cover, is the right choice. The built-in fixed light source in the cover scans up to 4" x 5" transparencies or 4 slides at a time.

Review of UMAX Astra 3400 by kevinhanson1

Advantages: Simple interface. easy to set up
Disadvantages: flimsy lid

...The Umax 3400 is a good solid scanner that is excellent value for money. It is simple to set up with 1 lead connecting to the USB port on your PC and the other to the mains supply. It comes complete with software that allows you to create calendars, posters, business cards etc. It is simple to use with scanning being possible with just the touch of a button. It is possible to copy a document, scan a document to disk or to a web based destination. At £50 you won't find a better beginners scanner.... Read review

Umax Astra 2000P
Review of UMAX Astra 2000P by markedwards

Advantages: good price
Disadvantages: persistent failure

...Hi I used to have a Umax Astra 2000P parallel-port flatbed scanner, but after the third one went wrong, I asked Umax's UK support provider to give me something else, because the darn thing would always go wrong when I most needed to copy a document or scan something. I don't know if this is the experience of other users, but the parallel port model was nothing but trouble from the start. The problem was always scanner connection. VSaccess used to suddenly and without warning say the scanner was undetectable and that was it. The last problem occurred during a scan - my machine hung whilst it was scanning happily, but following reboot the scanner was permanently undetectable. I now have a 2200 instead, which has worked fine (so far), but did need me to go and buy a scsi card.... Read review

Review of UMAX Astra 2000P by robertliu84

Advantages: It scans
Disadvantages: Squeeks a bit

...The UMAX Astra 2000U, comes in a USB format for the easiest of setups. Software also came with the package with a nice bundle of Adobe applications for great picture editing. The scanner is of a good quality, desgined well. I wouldn't say it was fast at scanning, but since this is my first scanner, what do I have to compare??? It scans from simple text, to detailed photos. Also offers a preview text so you can see what your scanned image would look like. All round good scanner from UMAX, and great value for money. This thing helped me in my GCSEs a LOT!... Read review
