easy-to-use scanner for establishing a paperless office or creating colorful projects for print or Internet use.The scanner has five One Touch buttons, four of which are pre-configured, allowing you to send scanned images straight to PaperPort for editing, email, OCR for editing text or a printer.The design appeals not only to people who want the latest technology but also to people who are looking for a scanner that will look great on their desk because the Xerox 4800 range feature a super slim line shape with an attractive metallic-look silver finish for the more stylish conscious user.48-bit internal color capability recognizes over 281 trillion colors. 48-bit scanners capture more detail in the shadow and highlight areas of an image than their 42-bit predecessors, so you get brighter yellows, richer reds, cooler blues, and everything between.Other scanners take two complete passes to perform an autocrop scan. The Xerox 4800TA with the revolutionary FlashBack technology saves time by doing it in a single pass. With FlashBack AutoScan enabled, the scanner moves one way to preview the image area quickly, automatically crops to the edges of the photo then reverses direction and performs the final high resolution scan on the return trip.The Xerox 4800TA includes a built-in backlight and film holder for scanning 35mm slides and negatives. Archive old photos from negatives for higher quality.

Well, 5 months down the line, the driver ...

I chose the Xerox because of the brand's strong affinity with businesses. Certainly my own firm use Xerox photocopiers, and these are very robust and fully functional.
The scanner comes well packaged, with a whole host of software proudly advertised on the box. For your money, you get the scanner, mains adaptor, USB cable, and a decent amount of software, including Ulead imaging software, ScanSoft PaperPort, and, of course, the device's ... ...new scanners. To me, they seem to be one of the most troublesome peripherals. Certainly, I have had big problems with Mustek scanners in the past. Casting my fears aside, I followed the instructions to load all of the software before plugging in the scanner.
This done, I restarted the computer, and plugged the scanner into the computer for the first time. Lo and behold, the device was instantly detected, and all further installation took place.
