...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.

Advantages: good price Disadvantages: persistent failure
...Hi
I used to have a UmaxAstra 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.

...The UMAXAstra 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!...
