Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Colour sensitivity

I have bought this scanner to use in my office, and I wish I had not. It is slow and the colours it produces are useless. I wanted it to scan and copy A3 colour maps that I had produced so I could print them out and send drafts to my clients, however this machine is now collecting dust as I have gone back to my Brother A4 scanner and have to fold the maps in half and stick together later. Ordinary black pen comes out as purple, dark green pencil ...
...expect for this price? In this case absolute rubbish! I am so very disappointed in it. Does anyone make an A3 colour scanner at a reasonable price??? The only things it has going for it is that it is compact and light weight and relatively easy to use. ... Read review

Advantages: simple instructions prints in glorious detail
Disadvantages: highlights lines, fade marks

flat bed scanners can be a joy or a nightmare when used. they can brilliantly pick out all the detail on your picture or ruin it with producing foldmarks when laid for processing. consider the use of white or black backing sheets when dealing with small pictures or 2 pictures in a group. when combining two letters into one make sure you have cut and pasted to be made 'invisable before printing'. the item is easily understood and instructions ...

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.

Disadvantages: None yet found

Recently bought and installed this scanner as a replacement for an old parallel port scanner on an Windows 98 system. The scanner comes well packaged with a stand, USB cable, multi langauge instructions and a installation CD. The packaging was easy to remove with no hidden bits and bobs to remove. Visually the scanner is easy on the eye in silver and black. The scanner comes with a stand so that it can be stored and used in the upright position, ...
...bugbear with flatbed scanners.) However at present it remains difficult to use in the upright position and I now only use this for storage. Installation was easy - simple instructions, one CD and a flawless install process. Remember to install the software before plugging in the scanner. The installation software contains the usual set of utilities including picture manipulation and OCR. I have not used these as I have my own favourites for these ... Read review
